Principal at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
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.

Digital Design Engineer at a aerospace/defense firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good
Adapting to the new products is taking some time, but this is normal procedure. The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes. The user interface of the scopes could be simpler. Windows-based scopes could also be smaller.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"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."
"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."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good."
"Using the user interface is pretty easy to use. Everybody can use it in engineering area."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"We tried to connect multiple computers with a KVM switch but we could not do that using Keysight VNA. Keysight VNA comes with the PC inside it. We have other equipment as well, and we tried to combine it so that we had one monitor to control everything. With Keysight we could not do it. That's something of an inconvenience."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes."
"The customer relationship should be more advanced/developed. Documents on the website should be more accessible and easily understandable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"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."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"It's very expensive."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
