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.

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."
"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 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."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"We have done some measurements and also correlated with simulation and we were able to obtain a good match, so that's a good indication of the accuracy."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"But I would highly recommend this product."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability; the type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
"There is not really a learning curve."
 

Cons

"Something I'd like to see is much better documentation and some good examples. That would be very helpful for a new user to get better at using the new test equipment."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"There is a learning curve depends on the client that I am working with. E.g., if I'm working with a client, and they have a test and measurement equipment company, when I go to another company, the new company may not be using the same model."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"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."
"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"The memory needs improvement."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."

"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
"The pricing was good."
