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 can go up to a very high frequency, up to 120 gigahertz. And the user interface is really good. It's really easy to navigate."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"It improves the functionality of our products and the products that I design, and I use it for characterization every day, and it directly helps."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"We have done some measurements and also correlated with simulation and we were able to obtain a good match, so that's a good indication of the accuracy."
"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."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
"There is not really a learning curve."
 

Cons

"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."
"It does everything I need it to do, but it is really expensive and I think there are alternatives out there that I could choose that would be cheaper."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with some of the features of the scope. I would like them to make it a bit more simplistic... For example, if I want to look at what the total jitter is, they should make it simpler to find that, with different tabs."
"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."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"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

"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."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"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 would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
"The pricing was good."
