Reports CTRM Vendor Perceptions 2018 | Page 7

CTRM Vendor Perceptions 2018 base and reflect only a single geographic region. The installed base information is useful as it alerts us to possible sample bias and, by removing each vendor’s in- stalled base, we can gain a slightly different perspective of brand awareness. By comparison to 2016, there were more Brady and SAP users represented in the survey and many fewer Allegro users. There were no custom-built system users repre- sented in the sample. There was also a larger number of smaller vendors represented, particularly in Europe, in the sample. When asked how satisfied they were with their current solution(s), almost 90% of the respondents (same as in 2016 and 2014) indicated some level of satisfaction, with 10% saying they were very satisfied, 49% satisfied and 32% somewhat satisfied representing a swing away from very satisfied to somewhat satisfied over the 2016 sur- vey. Only 7% indicated they were dissatisfied with their current product(s). By comparison to the 2016 survey, the notable difference is that there are few ‘very satisfied’ users and more ‘somewhat satisfied’ users. A ComTechAdvisory Report
