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's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"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."
"This is a very good product to do your basic signal integrity tests and check your signals in the systems."
"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."
"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."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"There is not really a learning curve."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
 

Cons

"I am not really impressed with the GUI since it has not changed in almost 20 years (since I first began using the product). While the GUI part is okay, I can live with it."
"Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"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."
"They have some software applications but their GUI is not the best. The user interface is clunky at times."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradeability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive. If they could provide a more modular type of design, so if we want to upgrade one functionality then we could upgrade that module, rather than all the equipment, that would be helpful. That modularity is something we would like to see."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"The memory needs improvement."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"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."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
"The pricing was good."
