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

"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"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."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"It can go up to a very high frequency, up to 120 gigahertz. And the user interface is really good. It's really easy to navigate."
"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."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability... The good thing about the GUI interface which is, of course, software-based, is that you can record and save your test setup."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"Using the user interface is pretty easy to use. Everybody can use it in engineering area."
"Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradeability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive. If they could provide a more modular type of design, so if we want to upgrade one functionality then we could upgrade that module, rather than all the equipment, that would be helpful. That modularity is something we would like to see."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"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."
"I would like be able to measure multi-lane simultaneously. Right now, the high-performance jitter solution measures one signal. I would like to capture many at the same time."
"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 customer relationship should be more advanced/developed. Documents on the website should be more accessible and easily understandable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"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 very expensive."
"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."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
