What 24 Arbolus experts think of Eclipse Foundation

NPS scores trend high, with 10 and 9 as frequent ratings among both influencers and users, indicating strong advocacy. However, renewal intent is divided: some high spenders and loyal users express uncertainty, particularly for complex or legacy-heavy implementations. Stickiness is reinforced by widespread reported adoption of >1 year and critical integration in enterprise workflows. Key expert feedback highlights Eclipse Foundation’s vendor neutrality, reliability, and robust IP frameworks, but also notes lag in cloud-native adoption and burdensome complexity for agile use cases.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
