Number of Seats/Users: Orbit Online offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Orbit Online that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Orbit Online. Orbit Online reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Orbit Online offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Orbit Online. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Orbit Online often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that Orbit Online lands solidly in the “very good, but with a few practical gaps” category for most Spendbase clients.

Overall sentiment
Our internal metrics indicate:

• Average satisfaction around 4–5/5
• High praise for support, usability, and flexibility
• Frustrations mostly around missing features and release quality, not the core concept

What Spendbase clients like most
From the feedback we see, Orbit is chosen and kept because it:

• Gives a clear overview of projects and people
• Easy planning of projects and employee allocation

• GANTT-style dashboards help with deadlines and capacity forecasting

• Is simple to use yet customizable

• Teams can adapt workflows so Orbit matches their specific business setup

• Templates and standardized outputs improve quality and consistency

• Centralizes business and HR data

• CVs, references, and project info stay in sync

• Data integration reduces duplicate work and errors

• Has standout support

• Fast, friendly assistance
• Minor changes and bug fixes handled quickly
• Orbit team seen as proactive and willing to improve the product

Key friction points
Our internal data shows recurring themes in what Spendbase clients miss:

• Competence module limitations

• Need better ways to extract and filter competence lists

• GANTT/export gaps

• Lack of a proper print/export option for the GANTT calendar

• Learning resources

• Desire for short, on-demand video tutorials instead of live sessions

• Update quality

• Some updates feel rushed, causing temporary issues
• Clients rely on support to “patch” things right after releases

Spendbase perspective on value
Looking at usage and cost patterns, our internal benchmarks show:

• Teams that fully use templates, data integration, and CV/reference automation tend to see lower tool sprawl and better license efficiency.
• The main risk to ROI is time lost to post-update bugs and workarounds; stabilizing releases and adding small missing features (print, competence reporting, tutorials) would directly improve value for money.

In short, Orbit Online is seen as a strong, people-friendly platform with very good support, where tightening release quality and filling a few functional gaps would significantly boost both satisfaction and cost efficiency.
