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.

B-scan is its most valuable feature. However, we are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset.

Try it if it is within your budget. It is a good product. The learning curve is very quick. It takes about one or two days. While we have plans to use this product to support connect devices, we are not currently doing so. We are currently measuring signals from 3.0 and 4.0, and looking for 5.0.

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."

"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."

"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."

"The technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support. They sent an engineer to us who gave us some training and tutorials."

"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."

"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."

"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."

"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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

"The most valuable feature is the automation component in setting up some of these measurements."

"Tektronix is robust and reliable. It's a hammer-resistant machine, a fact which is most important on our manufacturing floor."

"The Ipath and measurements are fantastic and simple to implement."

"This solution provides high confidence in the data being presented in the measurement to inform a design decision going forward."

"I trust Tektronix for its accuracy. The probes of solution fit my application. E.g., the speed of probes, the way that it is using probes with designs, and the probes' size."

"The user interface is excellent. The GUI is so self-explanatory and there are the same knobs everywhere; the design is a standard design line."

"The most valuable features are everything they do. We primarily use the O-scopes and they help us figure out what's going wrong with our scope out signals."

"It has a good user interface. It's easy to use, easy to read. It's intuitive."

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."

"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."

"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."

"They can improve, but I don't know how."

"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."

"Sometimes, it's quite hard to get the technical support to come onsite. If we run into a hardware, measurement, or software issue, we may have to wait a long time for them to come."

"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

"There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."

"I know you can get the Bit Masks but it's generally really expensive to get the eye diagrams and Bit Masks with it. I wish they were included or cheaper."

"They need to add more memory to this machine."

"I would like to see some WiFi capabilities. I would like to upgrade equipment, and if I was in the U.S., I could do that with WiFi capabilities."

"The ruggedness could be improved."

"I am not utilizing the full bandwidth of this product."

"We are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset."

"If they could make the user interface even more intuitive that would help. If they could make it easier to read, to know where the buttons are, that's all I need."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."

"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 very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."

"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."

"It's expensive, but the quality matters."

"The pricing is always high."

"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."

"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

"It's cost-effective... It might cost a lot of money, but if we need it we buy it."

"It could always be cheaper."

"It is a great price for a great product."

"Pricing could be lower. I would want to buy it for an extremely, low price, but Tektronix is a high-end product."

"Isolated probes are good to have, as most of the scopes don't have it. It drives up the cost when you have to buy isolated probes."

"The pricing is not too high and not too low."

"They're all pretty expensive. If everything costs that much, I suppose the pricing is fair."

"Tektronix Oscilloscopes are really expensive for small businesses. The low-end scopes don't really compare performance-wise to what the other companies provide, like RIGOL . Mostly that just has to do with the software options."
