Performance Test Lead at HTC

I rate the initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on-premises. In our company, we work with the cloud version of the solution. The solution is deployed on the cloud model if necessary. We run the solution on the cloud model in our company for stakeholders and teams not locally available but would like to get involved with the solution. If a team planning to use the solution is available locally and falls under the same geolocation, we can go for the on-premises version in our company.

The deployment process of the solution took around two days.

The installation was simple and was carried out in-house. We initially had some issues with crashing but that was related to Windows and not the product. At the time, I was working with a four-member team.

The initial setup is straightforward if you are familiar with the solution. You just need to download and install the solution from their site. If you are installing the solution on one machine it can be running in under one hour. If you are installing the solution on multiple machines you need to first install a controller version followed by a generator that has to be configured in the controller version.

The initial setup was quite easy. The deployment can be done quickly for a single set of servers or workstations. However, the time taken depends on how extensive the infrastructure is.

As compared to other tools, the initial setup is easy, but there is some complexity that comes with the Kubernetes-based setup of one of the components. So, it's a bit easier than others, but there are certain aspects that make it difficult. I'd rate it a six out of ten in terms of the ease of the setup.

Its deployment took a couple of weeks, which also included testing.

Initial setup is a breeze. The installation is a complete package without having to switch between standalone modules for recording scenarios, execution and analysis which is not the case in say, LoadRunner or WebLOAD which has different modules for each (like VuGen, Controller & Analysis).

Neotys also offers their own cloud infrastructure to leverage upon for tests with larger user loads which can be configured to each project needs. However, if you are setting up your own cloud infrastructure on say, Amazon AWS, you would have to be equipped with enough knowledge to set up the images (AMIs) and configure the necessary IPs & locations for the test.

It is straightforward. You don't need much understanding from the installation perspective. You just need to download the .exe and install it. You just need the license, and if you are going for the trial version, you just upload the license. If you are going for a business license, you just have to tie up with them and reach an agreement. That's it. 

It is a one-day thing. One day is enough to complete the installation and the setup.

The initial setup is not that complex unless you try to use it against a complex application like Oracle Forms. Oracle always tries to encourage the use of its own proprietary performance testing tool. They make it harder for the clients to use other tools, pushing them to buy their own. That's when the complexity arises. Other than that, it's straightforward and very intuitive. 

As long as you have a basic understanding, it's not that hard to get started. Personally, I came from a JMeter open-source background, so transitioning to NeoLoad wasn't too hard for me.

Initially, we faced some configuration issues, and the documentation was a little lacking, but the support team was very helpful in resolving the problems and guiding me through the setup. After that, using the tool became a walk in the park. However,  NeoLoad can still improve certain aspects.

NeoLoad has a cloud solution, mainly for executing tasks, but the tool itself is an on-premises one. The main issue with these cloud providers is that they should come up with CNA, which is the security certification. Otherwise, people, especially in the government sector, don't want to use them. They are very conservative about security in New Zealand, so they prefer everything to be on-premises mostly. Cloud solutions, like Platform as a Service, are not easily embraced there; they prefer on-premises solutions. So, everything is on-premises.

The initial setup is straightforward. We deployed using the manual and did not integrate the solution with anything, such as the CID tool; it was only for small projects.
