Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good
Adapting to the new products is taking some time, but this is normal procedure. The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes. The user interface of the scopes could be simpler. Windows-based scopes could also be smaller.

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

"Using the user interface is pretty easy to use; everybody can use it in the engineering area."
"Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good."
"The Ipath and measurements are fantastic and simple to implement."
"The sensitivity of the trigger and the reliability are the most valuable features, and the scopes were extremely reliable."
"It has a good user interface. It's easy to use, easy to read. It's intuitive."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the automation component in setting up some of these measurements."
"It's a good product."
"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."
"Valuable features include that it's multi-channel... and has bandwidth filtering. The user interface is good."
 

Cons

"The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes."
"The customer relationship should be more advanced/developed. Documents on the website should be more accessible and easily understandable."
"There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."
"I would like to see more integration into machine learning because that's what we try to apply it to."
"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."
"If you are dealing with time domain measurement, I strongly recommend using a vendor other than this company."
"We are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset."
"I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."
"In terms of room for improvement, it's a powerful scope. But, the power of the computer inside is weak."
"I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing could be lower. I would want to buy it for an extremely, low price, but Tektronix is a high-end product."
"The cost has room for improvement. Though compared to other companies, it's okay."
"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."
"The pricing is not too high and not too low."
"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."
"It could always be cheaper."
"I would like to see a lower price."
"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."
