At Veeam, our customers are our number one priority and their feedback helps us continuously improve our business. Veeam’s annual Customer Satisfaction Survey shares important feedback on how our customers feel about Veeam’s products and services. The results are in for our 2016 survey and we are excited to share them with you today!
Veeam’s 2016 Net Promoter Score
An organization’s Net Promoter Score boils down to one simple question — How likely is it that you would recommend Veeam to a friend or colleague?
The answer to this question, translated into numbers, represents customer loyalty and the likelihood of that customer recommending Veeam products and services to others. Net Promoter Scores (NPS) can range from -100 to +100, with +50 being an excellent result.
Currently, the average Net Promoter Score within our industry is 31.8. For the second year in a row, we are thrilled to report that Veeam’s NPS of 61 has exceeded the industry average by almost 2x, proving the willingness of our customers to publicly recommend Veeam!
In addition to determining our Net Promoter Score, respondents also rated a number of important questions on a scale from 0-10 with 0 meaning ”not at all likely” and 10 meaning ”extremely likely.” Impressively, Veeam continued to receive high marks from our customers in these areas, and either improved its standings or maintained high positions within each major category. Key takeaways included:
- Veeam’s overall customer satisfaction rate was 8.6 out of 10, continuing a three-year upward trend.
- Our customers’ willingness to recommend Veeam continued to increase from a high 8.7 ranking in 2015 to an even higher 8.8 out of 10 for 2016.
- On average, a customers’ likelihood to renew a Veeam license was 8.8 out of 10
- Overall satisfaction with Veeam product features and functionality also continued a three-year upward trend increasing from 8.4 out of 10 in 2015 to an average of 8.7 out of 10 in 2016.
