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

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

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

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

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

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

"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."

"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."

"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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

"Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices."

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

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

"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."

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

"It has very fast response with deep memory."

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

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

Cons

"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."

"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 a learning curve depends on the client that I am working with. E.g., if I'm working with a client, and they have a test and measurement equipment company, when I go to another company, the new company may not be using the same model."

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

"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."

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

"While the user interface is good with respect to instrumentation, but with respect to documentation, I do not like it. Its documentation is slightly bad. It was not organized properly. The way it's organized is very difficult to understand, so it takes lot of time to search for one thing in particular."

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

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

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

"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."

"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."

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

"The ruggedness could be improved."

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

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

"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

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

"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."

"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."

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

"The pricing is on the high side."

"They're not cheap."

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

"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is very expensive."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."
