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.

The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth
It is a general purpose scope with 4-channel 300 MHz.  The application space that this solution targets is the embedded system of my products. Typically, the signals that we are measuring are digital, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), wireless, and Zigbee The most valuable feature would be the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's functionality makes things easier for my partner, who is doing the PCIe design. He is able measure the product's usage and bit error rate."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"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."
"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."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
 

Cons

"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."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"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."
"The technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If it is something wrong with the scope, they are okay. However, if something technical goes wrong, like the calibration, it is hard to get the information that we need because it is hard to share everything and explain all the measurements in real-time."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"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 had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
"The memory needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is always high."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"They're not cheap."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
"The pricing was good."
