What 17 Arbolus experts think of QAD

NPS scores range widely from 5 to 10, with most falling between 7 and 9, suggesting generally positive experiences but with room for improvement. 70% of experts with specified intent are likely to renew, but a notable proportion of high spenders are not sure about renewal, indicating latent risk. Stickiness is high, as all respondents are either in the 'MoreThan1Year' or 'Pilot' implementation stage, reflecting significant embeddedness. Key themes include the value of QAD in complex manufacturing, the need for strong implementation and data discipline, and switching considerations centering on integration, usability, and analytics.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
