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."

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

"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."

"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."

"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."

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

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

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

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

"The user interface is good."

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

"The Ipath and measurements are fantastic and simple to implement."

"The sensitivity of the trigger and the reliability are the most valuable features."

"We have multiple systems for manufacturing tests, and it's critical for our support. The support increases our productivity."

"Being able to monitor data from a CAN bus while the vehicle is running will cut down a lot of the feedback for the design mode."

"The most valuable features are everything they do. We primarily use the O-scopes and they help us figure out what's going wrong with our scope out signals."

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

More Tektronix Oscilloscopes pros

Cons

"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."

"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 more customized functions, so we can do the programming and definitions ourselves. There is an automation flow to capture this signal, and we would like to do this ourselves."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

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

"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 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 use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."

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

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

"The power of the computer inside is weak. Sometimes I send a lot of data and I'll feel the lag... I would like to see them improve the processing power."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

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

"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."

"They're not cheap."

"The pricing is on the high side."

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

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."

"It's available on the low-end scopes for free, but on the higher-end scopes, it is expensive. Therefore, it's a bit more difficult to make stuff work."

"We demoed the product before purchasing it."

"It could always be cheaper."

"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."

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

"The pricing is very expensive."

"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."
