We performed a comparison between Keysight Oscilloscopes and Rohde & Schwarz Oscilloscopes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Siglent, Tektronix, Keysight Technologies and others in Oscilloscopes.
"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."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"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 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."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"The user interface has never been better. They improved it a few years ago with a more modern oscilloscope interface and it's easier to use, even for more junior people in our lab."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the accuracy and repeatability."
"I have been able to do quality measurements that I have been unable to achieve with the equipment from some other vendors."
"The user interface is pretty good. Right now, it is more than what we expected. It's easy and fast to use."
"The instrument has a wide bandwidth. You can sweep across a wide range of frequencies."
"The noise sensitivity: It has a low noise floor."
"The noise floor for reference clocks is pretty low, so this instrument is able to measure it where others cannot."
"It is a more efficient, easier way to do measurements."
"It has a very low noise floor."
"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."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"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."
"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."
"The depth the the user GUI could be improved. It is a bit deep for new users. During the first two weeks we spent a lot of time finding the tabs."
"It would be good if they would try to automate most things because it has more pressing buttons and repetitive work. If there were automation scripts that they could provide, that would improve things."
"The user interface could be improved, e.g., the documentation on the menus. I have to open a separate document to figure out the functionality sometimes."
"We would like to have autotracking and auto error tracking for regression testing. We would like to know what error happened, when it happened, and during what scenario (such as setup), because right now we have to manually look at when it happened."
"The size of the unit is too big, too heavy. It has to be made more portable and smaller."
"In the next release, I would like to see report generation. It would make it a lot easier to refer back to and, when doing final testing, seeing what went on during the pre-test would help."
"There was a learning curve. Their use interface and the way that their products work are not intuitive to somebody who switches from other vendors."
"The Rohde & Schwarz user interface is very oriented towards drop and drag functions on the screen. Some of those are just not obvious how to use. You have to have somebody get you over the hump."
