What 6 Arbolus experts think of SAGE 50

NPS distribution is mixed: only one Promoter (9), with most scores neutral (5-8), and one clear Detractor (1). Renewal intent is weak, with all spenders reporting 'No' for renewal. All customers are in the MoreThan1Year stickiness category, indicating long-term use but not ongoing buy-in. Key feedback themes are reliability, affordability, and compliance, but automation, integration, and reporting limitations drive churn risk. Overall Customer Sentiment: Neutral
