Principal at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
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.

Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good
Adapting to the new products is taking some time, but this is normal procedure. The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes. The user interface of the scopes could be simpler. Windows-based scopes could also be smaller.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"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."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good."
"Using the user interface is pretty easy to use. Everybody can use it in engineering area."
"Using the user interface is pretty easy to use; everybody can use it in the engineering area."
 

Cons

"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"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 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 technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. 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."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"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."
"The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes."
"The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products."
"The customer relationship should be more advanced/developed. Documents on the website should be more accessible and easily understandable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is always high."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"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."
"It's very expensive."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
