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

"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"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."
"The product's functionality makes things easier for my partner, who is doing the PCIe design. He is able measure the product's usage and bit error rate."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"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."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"There is not really a learning curve."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"Something I'd like to see is much better documentation and some good examples. That would be very helpful for a new user to get better at using the new test equipment."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"I would like them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe, built into the array. PERT to be built-in for more specific product call. These would make our lives much easier."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"The memory needs improvement."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"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."
"They're not cheap."
"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."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"It's very expensive."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
"The pricing was good."
