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

"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."
"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."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
 

Cons

"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing. For example, once you're done measuring, it would be nice to be able to generate some data starting from the measurement data."
"We tried to connect multiple computers with a KVM switch but we could not do that using Keysight VNA. Keysight VNA comes with the PC inside it. We have other equipment as well, and we tried to combine it so that we had one monitor to control everything. With Keysight we could not do it. That's something of an inconvenience."
"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 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."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"The technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If it is something wrong with the scope, they are okay. However, if something technical goes wrong, like the calibration, it is hard to get the information that we need because it is hard to share everything and explain all the measurements in real-time."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
"The memory needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The pricing is always high."
"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."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"The pricing was good."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
