What 172 Arbolus experts think of WhatsApp

NPS results are overwhelmingly positive: over 90% of respondents score 8 or higher, with multiple 10s reported. Renewal intent is strong or positive among most experts, with low churn risk except in isolated cases. Stickiness is high, as nearly all users report usage of more than one year, and qualitative feedback highlights WhatsApp’s essential role in daily work and communication. Key feedback cites broad adoption, ease of use, and real-time messaging as major positives, while noted gaps include lack of formal workflow tools and information management. Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
