Ha! The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Back in the very early '70s at IBM, I did some performance
work using an SMI (System Measurement Instrument?).
There were rumored to be only two in all of the UK, and we
were using both at the time.
Those of us entrusted with the beast were cautioned not to
let the customer see any reports until we'd had a chance
to annotate them, lest they "misinterpret the results".

Sorry, but it's always been that way for modelling tools.
You have to do a 'virtual' upgrade to see if it will work.
Try zPCR.
I used it when I was at IBM.
And, it's got the best price going.
You just have to take the online course first.
That's so (or so they believe) you'll learn how to interpret the results.
They've forgotton about the GIGO principle.
And, a 45-minute, non-interactive course is not going to dispell that.
