IcValida9f6e - PeerSpot reviewer
The Pulse Pattern Generator and Error Detector are co-located, making it easier to use. However, I would like a better GUI.
Take a look and do some demos. It will help you decide whether to go with this equipment or not. It took us about a week to become acclimated to the solution. We are not using this product to support connected devices, e.g., IoT development, nor are we planning to going forward.

The technical support ecosystem is what really makes it good.
Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products. The customer support is very good. If you need an application to do any measurement, you can easily get a hold of people to help you with it. This is a whole ecosystem. The user interface is top-notch in the industry.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and Error Detector are co-located, which makes it easier to use because I can just probe it directly on the PCB."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability... The good thing about the GUI interface which is, of course, software-based, is that you can record and save your test setup."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"The user interface is very user-friendly. You can use a lot of functions in their scope and will provide them for you. You can update the scope's software by asking Keysight to update the software when you want."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"The user interface has never been better. They improved it a few years ago with a more modern oscilloscope interface and it's easier to use, even for more junior people in our lab."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"It can go up to a very high frequency, up to 120 gigahertz. And the user interface is really good. It's really easy to navigate."
 

Cons

"The user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."
"Sometimes, the forms keep changing because of new product technology. If they could reduce the amount of change in the form, this would be good."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"I would like the frequency range to be extended because of the speed. Electronics are moving forward to higher speeds, so it's better to have higher frequencies."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"Right now, it's a minimal tool. They could make it more dynamic by adding dynamic features, which could help us with doing effective analysis."
"Their GUI is not the best. They need to improve on that. I think their software team needs to put in a little bit more work on how they are presenting the application on the scope."
"I would like more customized functions, so we can do the programming and definitions ourselves. There is an automation flow to capture this signal, and we would like to do this ourselves."
"While the user interface is good with respect to instrumentation, but with respect to documentation, I do not like it. Its documentation is slightly bad. It was not organized properly. The way it's organized is very difficult to understand, so it takes lot of time to search for one thing in particular."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing. For example, once you're done measuring, it would be nice to be able to generate some data starting from the measurement data."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is costly."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"It's very expensive equipment and cannot be upgraded after five years. If you buy equipment today, in five years, it won't be upgradeable. You have to upgrade it within the first five years that you buy it."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"Our solution is upgradable. However, upgrading depends on how much money the company is willing to spend, because each upgrade will take a million dollars."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
