What 55 Arbolus experts think of ETAP

The NPS distribution skews high, with a large share of promoters (NPS 9–10) among users in advanced implementation stages and high/mid spend brackets. Most respondents express strong renewal intent; lower NPS scores correlate with offboarding or pilot-phase users. The majority have used ETAP for over a year, indicating high stickiness. Key feedback themes include robust engineering capabilities, criticality for regulatory and operational needs, but some concern on cost and cloud automation.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
