IC Validation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees
The Pulse Pattern Generator and Error Detector are co-located, making it easier to use. However, I would like a better GUI.
Take a look and do some demos. It will help you decide whether to go with this equipment or not. It took us about a week to become acclimated to the solution. We are not using this product to support connected devices, e.g., IoT development, nor are we planning to going forward.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme, and we use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation, and it's also quick and easy to use."
"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"The Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and Error Detector are co-located, which makes it easier to use because I can just probe it directly on the PCB."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected; using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"Keysight is number one and top of the line."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"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 has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
 

Cons

"I would like the frequency range to be extended because of the speed. Electronics are moving forward to higher speeds, so it's better to have higher frequencies."
"The user interface is somewhat difficult when it comes to updates, so this is something that they need to improve. I would like a better GUI with navigation."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"The user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"Right now, it's a minimal tool. They could make it more dynamic by adding dynamic features, which could help us with doing effective analysis."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"Right now, it's a minimal tool. They could make it more dynamic by adding dynamic features, which could help us with doing effective analysis."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"Some of the models have only two ports. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"Their GUI is not the best. They need to improve on that. I think their software team needs to put in a little bit more work on how they are presenting the application on the scope."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"The pricing is costly."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"It's very expensive equipment and cannot be upgraded after five years. If you buy equipment today, in five years, it won't be upgradeable. You have to upgrade it within the first five years that you buy it."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"The pricing is always high."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"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."
