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

"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"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."
"We rely on the data and we make our design calls, risk-assessment, all based on the measurements that we take with the Keysight equipment."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
 

Cons

"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."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"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."
"The memory needs improvement."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"It's very expensive."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"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."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"They're not cheap."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"The pricing was good."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
