What 52 Arbolus experts think of SAS

NPS scores are predominantly high, with over 60% of respondents rating 9 or 10 and a minority reporting scores under 7. Positive sentiment aligns with long-term, advanced users in banking and energy (strong model governance and audit). Renewal intent is high among those with large spend and embedded implementations, while dissent focuses on cost and user complexity. Most customers are in mature stages (more than 1 year deployed), reinforcing stickiness. Key themes include reliability, compliance, scalability, and friction related to costs or training. Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
