What 72 Arbolus experts think of Equifax
NPS is skewed positive, with ~30% Promoters (NPS 9-10), ~55% Passives (NPS 7-8), and a minority (~15%) as Detractors (NPS ≤6). Renewal intent patterns show the majority likely or intending to renew among high spenders, with 'Not Sure' and 'No' responses linked to cost concerns or integration pain points. Most experts use Equifax for over a year, supporting strong stickiness, but some are piloting or in offboarding. Key feedback themes are the unmatched data, cost inflation, usability gaps, and regulatory dependence. Compliance and data coverage drive renewals; price, integration, and slow innovation drive departures.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
