What 44 Arbolus experts think of Synopsys Inc
NPS scores are highly positive, with 71% of responses in the 8-10 (promoter) range and only 10% in detractor territory. Renewal intent is strong among high spenders and strategic roles, with some uncertainty noted primarily among sub-$100K spenders and users in shorter pilots or offboarding stages. Stickiness is high, especially in implementations exceeding one year; expert feedback highlights enterprise security breadth, policy coverage, and integration depth as core strengths. Some mention complexity and operational overhead as minor downsides but not dealbreakers.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
