@raining211 satisfactory is correct in this case. Satisfying means it looks/feels nice whereas satisfactory means it meets your requirements.

Before posting the question, I searched and found out the difference.
So I think it depends on the speaker's intention.
get satisfactory results
get satisfying results

get a satisfactory answer
get a satisfying asnwer

Both are used in the Google news, but satisfactory is a bit more common.
@raining211 yes, satisfying could be correct but generally (in my experience) when you’re talking about results being up to standards, satisfactory is typically used as it would make slightly more sense.
