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

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

"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."

"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."

"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."

"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."

"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."

"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."

"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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

"B-scan is its most valuable feature."

"I haven't seen anything similar where it has a spectrum analyzer and regular scope together."

"I trust Tektronix for its accuracy. The probes of solution fit my application. E.g., the speed of probes, the way that it is using probes with designs, and the probes' size."

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

"The user interface is good."

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

"Tektronix is robust and reliable. It's a hammer-resistant machine, a fact which is most important on our manufacturing floor."

"It has digital scopes with a high bandwidth and digitized signal. It can do whatever you want with the signal. Since its user-friendly software allows you to work with the signal, which is pretty cool."

Cons

"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."

"They can improve, but I don't know how."

"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."

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

"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."

"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."

"Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."

"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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

"The ruggedness could be improved."

"I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."

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

"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes."

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

"I would like to see more integration into machine learning because that's what we try to apply it to."

"I would like to see some WiFi capabilities. I would like to upgrade equipment, and if I was in the U.S., I could do that with WiFi capabilities."

"We are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."

"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."

"The pricing is good for what they offer."

"It's expensive, but the quality matters."

"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."

"It's very expensive."

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

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

"It could always be cheaper."

"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."

"It's cost-effective... It might cost a lot of money, but if we need it we buy it."

"In the 100 gigabit Ethernet and 400 gigabit Ethernet category, everything is in the multi-hundred thousand dollar range, so it was fair pricing because everything is expensive."

"They're all pretty expensive. If everything costs that much, I suppose the pricing is fair."

"We demoed the product before purchasing it."

"The cost has room for improvement. Though compared to other companies, it's okay."

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