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

"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."

"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."

"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."

"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."

"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."

"The product's functionality makes things easier for my partner, who is doing the PCIe design. He is able measure the product's usage and bit error rate."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

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

"The most valuable features are its ease of use, user interface, and PAM-4. The user interface is good and easy to use."

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

"It has very fast response with deep memory."

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

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

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

"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 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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."

"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 technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If it is something wrong with the scope, they are okay. However, if something technical goes wrong, like the calibration, it is hard to get the information that we need because it is hard to share everything and explain all the measurements in real-time."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

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

"The ruggedness could be improved."

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

"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 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."

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

"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."

"It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It's very expensive."

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

"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."

"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 pricing is always high."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is not too high and not too low."

"They have academic pricing which is helpful."

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

"We demoed the product before purchasing it."

"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."

"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."

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

"The pricing is very expensive."
