What 28 Arbolus experts think of Global Relay

NPS scores range from 2 to 10, with the majority scoring in the 7–10 range. Renewal intent is generally positive among long-term and high-spend clients, but some uncertainty exists among pilot and offboarding customers. Stickiness is high, with most implementations lasting over one year; however, pilot and offboarding stages show early stage or dissatisfaction risk. Key feedback themes include high reliability, easy archiving and retrieval, competitive pricing, but also interface age, cost concerns, and gaps in new AI capabilities or trade surveillance integration. Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
