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

"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."
"The technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support. They sent an engineer to us who gave us some training and tutorials."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"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."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"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 more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
"The memory needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very expensive."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"They're not cheap."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"The pricing is always high."
"Pricing can be improved a bit. They try to make the pricing competitive but I think there are times that the competitors have good pricing."
"The pricing was good."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
