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

"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"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."
"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."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability; the type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
"We have often needed technical support often, they were always ready to help us and have been very useful, and if you need help, there is always someone who will help you."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
"There is not really a learning curve."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"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 have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing."
"The memory needs improvement."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
"The memory needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"The pricing is always high."
"It's very expensive."
"They're not cheap."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"The pricing was good."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
