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

"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
 

Cons

"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"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."
"The technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If it is something wrong with the scope, they are okay. However, if something technical goes wrong, like the calibration, it is hard to get the information that we need because it is hard to share everything and explain all the measurements in real-time."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"The user interface can be buggy at times. But I'm an engineer, I figure out how to get around them pretty easily so that's not that much of a concern."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"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 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."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
"The memory needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"It's very expensive."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"Our solution is upgradable. However, upgrading depends on how much money the company is willing to spend, because each upgrade will take a million dollars."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
"The pricing was good."
