English term or phrase: quite satisfying
Text über Umsatzentwicklung:

The overall sales development in the last month has been quite satisfying...

Wie würdet ihr "quite satisfying" übersetzen? Ich habe Schwierigkeiten beim Beurteilung des Grads an Lob... in meinen Ohren klingt das nicht sooo toll, d.h. ich würde es evtl. mit "recht erfreulich" übersetzen. Was meint ihr?

Explanation:

Therefore: "äußerst zufriedenstellend" is also possible (that's what they mean to say).
