What 18 Arbolus experts think of KONE

NPS scores are skewed positively, with most respondents rating 8–10. High-spend, long-term and compliance-dependent customers are highly likely to renew, while those in early implementation stages, smaller portfolios, or with mid-range spend express more selective intent and concerns regarding flexibility or value expansion. Stickiness is greatest where KONE manages mission-critical assets. Key themes include strong trust in safety and compliance, service coverage, and reliable maintenance, though contract flexibility and communication variability are noted. Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
