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 user interface is very user-friendly. You can use a lot of functions in their scope and will provide them for you. You can update the scope's software by asking Keysight to update the software when you want."
"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"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 easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"Keysight is number one and top of the line."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
"There is not really a learning curve."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I would like them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe, built into the array. PERT to be built-in for more specific product call. These would make our lives much easier."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"The user interface is not that good. It's not very intuitive. It's functional, but it's not designed for ease of operation. It's designed for functionality."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"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."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
"The memory needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They're not cheap."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"Our solution is upgradable. However, upgrading depends on how much money the company is willing to spend, because each upgrade will take a million dollars."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The pricing is always high."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The pricing was good."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
