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 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, and we use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation, and it's also quick and easy to use."
"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 user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"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."
"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."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"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."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"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's very convenient because once we set up everything, we just queue our test plan and then are able to do whatever we want: embed with the key size and the PLOTS auto fix removal."
"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."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
 

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 user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, it's quite hard to get the technical support to come onsite. If we run into a hardware, measurement, or software issue, we may have to wait a long time for them to come."
"I would like be able to measure multi-lane simultaneously. Right now, the high-performance jitter solution measures one signal. I would like to capture many at the same time."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"Every component has a manufacturing tolerance. I hope Keysight software can help with the tolerance loss in manufacturing variance, which can be ten percent or five percent. In the real world, we cannot fire a really perfect test with very smooth impedance. I would like to see Keysight provide a solution to solve the issue of loss of manufacturing variance."
"Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is costly."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"The pricing is always high."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"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."
