What 284 Arbolus experts think of ServiceNow

NPS is strongly positive (mean≈9, several 10s, a few detractors at 3–5). Renewal intent is high for most large and mid-market accounts, with only isolated cases noting potential churn mainly due to cost. Stickiness is evidenced by the majority reporting >1 year on platform and multiple expansion cycles. Expert feedback consistently cites operational gains, workflow automation, and platform breadth as positives, though high cost and complexity are recurring negatives.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
