Getting up and running is really easy. You can record tests and use real browsers to run load tests. You can also click into each VU to see what actions they're taking in that exact moment, which is pretty cool. I'd definitely recommend.
I love the time required to start load testing my platform: literally minutes. It is very interesting to see how real browsers can be used because I have the piece of mind the load it is generating is really Hi-FI load.
