IC Validation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees
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

"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"If your intent is to experiment with your signal to see if some boosting helps or your silicon doesn't have a lot of Tap features, then this is a good product to start with."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"The information that I can get with the VNA is useful for me to select materials, like copper, and all the information that it can provide is really useful, due to the processing of the data."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability; the type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
"It improves the functionality of our products and the products that I design, and I use it for characterization every day, and it directly helps."
"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."
"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."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"We rely on the data and we make our design calls, risk-assessment, all based on the measurements that we take with the Keysight equipment."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"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

"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."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"The user interface is somewhat difficult when it comes to updates, so this is something that they need to improve. I would like a better GUI with navigation."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"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."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"There is room for improvement with some of the features of the scope. I would like them to make it a bit more simplistic... For example, if I want to look at what the total jitter is, they should make it simpler to find that, with different tabs."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"We tried to connect multiple computers with a KVM switch but we could not do that using Keysight VNA. Keysight VNA comes with the PC inside it. We have other equipment as well, and we tried to combine it so that we had one monitor to control everything. With Keysight we could not do it. That's something of an inconvenience."
"The room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"They have some software applications but their GUI is not the best. The user interface is clunky at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"The pricing is costly."
"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."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"They're not cheap."
"It's very expensive."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"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."
