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 technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support. They sent an engineer to us who gave us some training and tutorials."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"When it comes to grabbing precise technical data, having an ecosystem of logging it correctly and working with the diagnostics, they are probably the industry leaders in the field."
"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."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"There is not really a learning curve."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
 

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."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradeability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive. If they could provide a more modular type of design, so if we want to upgrade one functionality then we could upgrade that module, rather than all the equipment, that would be helpful. That modularity is something we would like to see."
"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"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 user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"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

"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"They're not cheap."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The pricing is always high."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
"The pricing was good."
