What 6 Arbolus experts think of Monster

The NPS range spans from 2 to 8, with a cluster of neutral to negative responses and one high outlier. 50% of experts explicitly state non-renewal or offboarding, signaling significant churn risk. Implementation stages skew toward early usage (LessThan1Year) or post-offboarding, with only a minority adopting for more than one year. Recurring feedback flags legacy value but highlights pressing issues such as database staleness, UI limitations, and declining competitive advantage. Overall Customer Sentiment: Negative
