We performed a comparison between National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes and Tektronix Oscilloscopes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Siglent, Tektronix, Keysight Technologies and others in Oscilloscopes."It took us less than a week to get integrated into the solution, which is very fast."
"The user interface is very good, easy to understand, and easy to operate."
"The learning curve was really fast, which was also the reason for saving a lot on the budget."
"I can automate a lot of testing very quickly. With just a push of a button, I can test hundreds of different scenarios without having to do all that manual testing myself."
"The user interface is absolutely great. It creates an easy working environment because it has well-integrated hardware and software. So, it is easy to use."
"The user interface is very good. Their boards are reliable. We buy boards from them, they are reliable, and we don't have problems with them."
"It makes programming simpler."
"The integrated lateral view makes it easier to develop your test systems and test software flow."
"We have multiple systems for manufacturing tests, and it's critical for our support. The support increases our productivity."
"The most valuable feature is the automation component in setting up some of these measurements."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, user interface, and PAM-4. The user interface is good and easy to use."
"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."
"Valuable features include that it's multi-channel... and has bandwidth filtering. The user interface is good."
"When I was looking for a scope for that lab, that five subdivisions per division was important."
"It provides you the best way to view information without opening multiple applications, like a single solution."
"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."
"There is a learning curve. It might take a year if you're not well-versed with it."
"I would like to see them increase the productivity and auxiliary functions."
"National Instruments needs to be focusing on its 5G RF applications. They are aware of this, and that's where most of their R&D is going."
"I would like to have more RF. They're going that way, but still there is some work that they have to do."
"I would like to see more of a tasking user base and documentation inside the instrument itself, rather than having to go online for it."
"The software has room for improvement."
"It took a good year until I felt proficient using the product, as It is a complex program. Their newest version has a less steep learning curve, but back closer to 15 years ago, it was a lot less user-friendly."
"I would like more speed and a reduction in size."
"On the source side, their AWGs don't have enough bandwidth. They need to increase the bandwidth of their AWGs, meaning they have to have a faster sample rate."
"I know you can get the Bit Masks but it's generally really expensive to get the eye diagrams and Bit Masks with it. I wish they were included or cheaper."
"I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."
"I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."
"The ruggedness could be improved."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the screen size. I don't really have a lot of complaints but screen size would be the biggest thing."
"I want the system to have a wider bandwidth because high-speed continues to move faster, so there is more bandwidth to cover."
"If you are dealing with time domain measurement, I strongly recommend using a vendor other than this company."
