After the product installation, there was no need to change the default application parameters. The default configuration served our purposes ‘out-of-the-box’. The requirement and installation of the IBM certificate to allow the tests to be captured was resolved with IBM RPT support. By creating a “Development”, “Production” and “Archive” project folders, it was very easy to create, test and archive the library of tests that had been created over time.

Straightforward. Some issues if you previously had HP UFT, QTP or Performance Center software installed. I would recommend a re-imaging prior to installing IBM if you had HP previously.

The initial setup itself was straightforward, but resolving the various issues after deployment took a couple weeks.

For a rational performance testing solution, the initial setup is very complex. The setup was difficult and the documentation was not very up to date. The documentation is also too simple; it's good for making simple operations, but when the difficulty level is a bit higher, you will need IBM to help you. You can get lost in the process very quickly. 

We need between two and five people to maintain the solution.

The setup was straightforward, it depends on the company's regulations and infrastructure policies.

Straightforward.

It was complex.

It wasn't complex as the documentation is vast.

It was straightforward.

It was straightforward.

It was complex.

It was straightforward. It takes hardly a day to install and configure everything.

It depends on the scope, complexity and expected load. After introducing Load Generator Agent, as I already mentioned, setting up environment and capacity planning became simpler.

The initial setup was not difficult and proper instruction guides are provided with sufficient step by step instructions.

Implementation is simple, but exploring the capability of this tools hasn't being marketed as well as LoadRunner/Performance Center 12 has been. More education needs to be provided to users.

The installation and tool setup can take some time since this involves several components. A review of the licensing implementation would help here.

It is complex for a novice.
