What 5 Arbolus experts think of OWASP

OWASP receives high marks on customer sentiment, with NPS scores ranging from 7 to 10 across both user and influencer personas. Most respondents have used OWASP resources for more than one year, demonstrating strong stickiness. The only renewal intent response available is 'NotSure,' attributed to the organization's status as a non-commercial standard rather than a purchasable product. Key expert feedback highlights universal recognition, no licensing cost, and powerful standardization as positives, with slower update cycles and varying automation depth cited as the main drawbacks.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
