I was involved in its onboarding. It was easy. Because we did not plan to migrate anything, in our case, it was easy. We had ten years of data, but when we moved, we decided to not migrate that data because we wanted to start fresh. For us, it was very easy, but I do not know what options people have if they plan to migrate their data.

It was difficult and time-consuming. We have great folks who are working with our value-added reseller and OpenText, but the challenge that we are finding is that we like to be a self-serve shop. They do send us articles about how to do something, which is cool, but they are not technical enough. They are missing details. We understand that their documentation needs to be at that general level for the people who are not so technical, but they need to have a second level that gets down into every port in security concerns. We need much deeper technical documentation available so that we do not have to constantly go back and ask. Overall, it was difficult. It could be worse. I am not unhappy, but there is room for improvement.

The initial setup was definitely difficult in the earlier version. My team was sometimes not comfortable with the earlier version because there were a lot of issues with regard to the spinning of loads and data. There were limited options in terms of reporting. Also, there were very few graphs where you can monitor online compared to those in the current one. The current version is more mature and better.
Because we don't own anything, we created our account and then got started with the license.

OpenText LoadRunner Cloud’s setup is straightforward. I rate the process a nine out of ten. Although, I rate the process for the on-premises version a seven out of ten as we face challenges there. The on-cloud setup takes four to five hours to complete. It takes longer if there are some additional protocols included.

The initial setup of the cloud version is easy compared to using it on-premises. In the on-premises deployment, you have to set up all of the servers starting with bare metal and it will take no less than three months to deploy. However, with LoadRunner Cloud, all you have to do is buy the resources and execute it from there.
View full review »We initially had some problems with the setup as we had an issue while configuring load generators with the tool. In the end, everything went well. We raised it with the Micro Focus team, and they resolved our issue.
I'd rate the initial setup a four out of five in terms of the ease of implementation.

The only problem with setup is that there might be some problems with the firewalls, configuring SSH and other things. We were initially using OpenText SiteScope but we had some issues getting all the metrics. With New Relic and Dynatrace, we stopped using SiteScope. Other than that, we didn't have any issues. It's pretty straightforward. You install LoadRunner, configure your virtual users, and create the environment.
Our initial deployment of the on-prem solution took a week to get everything done, including setting up the firewall, configuration files, and the protocols. The migration to Loadrunner Cloud is nothing. You can start triggering whatever code you had on-prem in the cloud. There really isn't any migration involved. It's pretty straightforward.

I was involved in the initial setup. It was straightforward and there was a lot of good information available, but I did not need it. I didn't go through any support to set it up. The documentation itself was good.

In terms of integration and configuration of the product in our AWS environment, it is the easiest Micro Focus tool I have ever used.
I wasn't involved in the deployment.
