What 35 Arbolus experts think of STR Global

NPS distribution is heavily skewed toward positive promoters, with the majority of respondents scoring 9 or 10. Renewal intent is also high, particularly among high-spending, multi-property customers. Customers in advanced implementation stages (over one year) reported the strongest satisfaction and loyalty, while new and pilot users expressed moderate uncertainty. Expert feedback repeatedly highlighted STR Global’s industry-standard status, exceptional data coverage, and its value for financial performance benchmarking. Key concerns mostly relate to pricing sensitivities and the timeliness of report updates.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
