KR
Helps us ensure our materials' performance and DKDF measurements
I would definitely recommend trying this product. It's a really reliable and high-performance machine. In terms of a learning curve on the equipment, I had some training on the VNA before we purchased it, so for me training was done within a week or so. It was not really hard. But for colleagues, it took them some time to learn it. Upgrades are always welcome. Apart from VNA, we need to purchase all the fixtures, other equipment to connect to VNA. They are very expensive tools, and that's part of upgrading what we are doing in the lab. The solution, performance-wise is a ten out of ten. Price-wise, it's a six out of ten.
Packagine420 - PeerSpot reviewer
We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. I would like them to add more post processing capabilities.
It meet our basic needs. Since we do a lot of post processing when we download our waveforms to our computers, we need more post processing capabilities. If you have used oscilloscopes before, no matter the brand, it's probably easy to learn. The panel may be different, but it's easy to ramp up on the new model. This user interface is good. Most of the oscilloscopes that I have used have good user interfaces. The application space that we are using the solution to target is mostly high-speed signaling or memory interface. I would encourage people to use it and get some experience to see how they feel using it and how they like it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use 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."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"We heavily use it to validate the design assumption. In many cases, it was able to point out things that were not available to us in simulation."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
"It has a nice high-resolution screen. It is easy to set up the scope triggers, has a lot of scope trigger options for capturing waveforms, and seamlessly goes into the spectrum analysis mode."
 

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."
"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."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be 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."
"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 more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
"Since we do a lot of post processing when we download our waveforms to our computers, we need more post processing capabilities."
"The interconnect methods to the device are a little limited right now. I'd like to see other ways of being able to connect to the device."
"They could always work on the software stability of the products, particularly now that everything has switched over to a Windows-based interface. It creates a lot of crashes and bugs, which typically is a problem among all instruments."
"I would like them to be current with the latest standards. So, as soon as a new standard comes in, ensure that it gets rolled into the existing software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"They're not cheap."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."
"The bandwidth is pretty expensive on these instruments, so we typically use it all."
"I would like them to include a lot of the add-on options as part of the package. Typically, we start in at a price, and by the time we add up all the options that we need which are available, we are at double or triple the original price."
