How Satisfied can the Community be?
Although a smaller number of you responded to this survey than did to the previous one
(1508 vs. 4202), your scores and comments were overwhelmingly positive.
So, before I go into details, let me say,
"Thank you very much SDN and BPX communities, for being so active and for contributing
such highly-estimated value back to the community."
And now for some numbers:
4.26 overall satisfaction rating (scale 1-5 where 5 is the highest).
63% of the respondants visit daily. A common complaint:
"If I visited more often, I wouldn't get any work done"
Variant: "If I spend any more time on BPX or SDN, my partner will leave me."
59.3% Net Promoter. Here's how this one is measured:
We asked, "How likely are you to recommend SDN or BPX to a friend or colleague?"
The answers range on a scale of 0 - 10, where 0 is "not at all likely" and 10 is "very likely,"
Here's how we calculated our Net Promoter Score:
Net Promoter = (% who gave scores 10 and 9) - (% who gave scores 6 to 0)
