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.

The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth
It is a general purpose scope with 4-channel 300 MHz.  The application space that this solution targets is the embedded system of my products. Typically, the signals that we are measuring are digital, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), wireless, and Zigbee The most valuable feature would be the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"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."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"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."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
 

Cons

"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"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."
"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."
"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 them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe, built into the array. PERT to be built-in for more specific product call. These would make our lives much easier."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"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."
"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 had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
"The memory needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"It's very expensive."
"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 very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
"The pricing was good."
