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

"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
"There is not really a learning curve."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would also like to see a more detailed change-notice from version to version, what changed. If they had a more detailed description of what is changing and the reason for it, rather than just releasing, that would be good for us so we know whether or not to upgrade."
"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"The user interface can be buggy at times. But I'm an engineer, I figure out how to get around them pretty easily so that's not that much of a concern."
"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."
"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 memory needs improvement."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"It's very expensive."
"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."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
"The pricing was good."
