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.

B-scan is its most valuable feature. However, we are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset.

Try it if it is within your budget. It is a good product. The learning curve is very quick. It takes about one or two days. While we have plans to use this product to support connect devices, we are not currently doing so. We are currently measuring signals from 3.0 and 4.0, and looking for 5.0.

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 good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."

"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."

"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."

"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."

"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."

"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."

"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

"It has a good user interface. It's easy to use, easy to read. It's intuitive."

"It provides you the best way to view information without opening multiple applications, like a single solution."

"The most valuable feature is the automation component in setting up some of these measurements."

"This solution provides high confidence in the data being presented in the measurement to inform a design decision going forward."

"It has very fast response with deep memory."

"The user interface is excellent. The GUI is so self-explanatory and there are the same knobs everywhere; the design is a standard design line."

"The user interface is good, not very complicated. It is very intuitive."

"Valuable features include that it's multi-channel... and has bandwidth filtering. The user interface is good."

Cons

"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."

"I would like be able to measure multi-lane simultaneously. Right now, the high-performance jitter solution measures one signal. I would like to capture many at the same time."

"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."

"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."

"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 would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing. For example, once you're done measuring, it would be nice to be able to generate some data starting from the measurement data."

"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."

"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

"I would like if they could have more customer support engagement."

"There was a learning curve, which was a little tricky at times. Getting used to the GUI took time because we had to learn the different features."

"There is room for improvement when it comes to the screen size. I don't really have a lot of complaints but screen size would be the biggest thing."

"I am not utilizing the full bandwidth of this product."

"If they could make the user interface even more intuitive that would help. If they could make it easier to read, to know where the buttons are, that's all I need."

"I want the system to have a wider bandwidth because high-speed continues to move faster, so there is more bandwidth to cover."

"They need to add more memory to this machine."

"I know you can get the Bit Masks but it's generally really expensive to get the eye diagrams and Bit Masks with it. I wish they were included or cheaper."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."

"The pricing is very expensive."

"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."

"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."

"The pricing is good for what they offer."

"They're not cheap."

"It's very expensive."

"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

"Tektronix Oscilloscopes are really expensive for small businesses. The low-end scopes don't really compare performance-wise to what the other companies provide, like RIGOL . Mostly that just has to do with the software options."

"The prices are compatible with what they offer. Going forward, I would like them to become more competitive and dominant with their pricing in the market."

"It is a great price for a great product."

"They have academic pricing which is helpful."

"It costs a quarter of a million. This technology is not cheap."

"Pricing could be lower. I would want to buy it for an extremely, low price, but Tektronix is a high-end product."

"Tecktronix pricing tends to be pretty fair and reasonable with current market trends. They don't usually bump up the price too much."

"I would like to see a lower price."
