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

"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."
"This is a very good product to do your basic signal integrity tests and check your signals in the systems."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"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."
"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."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"There is not really a learning curve."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
 

Cons

"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"I would like more customized functions, so we can do the programming and definitions ourselves."
"While the user interface is good with respect to instrumentation, but with respect to documentation, I do not like it. Its documentation is slightly bad."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"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."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash."
"The memory needs improvement."
"The memory needs improvement."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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