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

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

"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."

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

"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."

"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."

"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."

"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."

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

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

"Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices."

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

"It has very fast response with deep memory."

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

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

"The user interface is good."

"I haven't seen anything similar where it has a spectrum analyzer and regular scope together."

"It provides you the best way to view information without opening multiple applications, like a single solution."

Cons

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

"Every component has a manufacturing tolerance. I hope Keysight software can help with the tolerance loss in manufacturing variance, which can be ten percent or five percent. In the real world, we cannot fire a really perfect test with very smooth impedance. I would like to see Keysight provide a solution to solve the issue of loss of manufacturing variance."

"Their GUI is not the best. They need to improve on that. I think their software team needs to put in a little bit more work on how they are presenting the application on the scope."

"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

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

"I would like if they could have more customer support engagement."

"There was a learning curve, which was a little tricky at times. Getting used to the GUI took time because we had to learn the different features."

"There is room for improvement when it comes to the screen size. I don't really have a lot of complaints but screen size would be the biggest thing."

"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."

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

"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 power of the computer inside is weak. Sometimes I send a lot of data and I'll feel the lag... I would like to see them improve the processing power."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing is always high."

"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."

"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 pricing is on the high side."

"The pricing is good for what they offer."

"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."

"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

"It could always be cheaper."

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

"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."

"The pricing is okay. It was within our budget."

"They have academic pricing which is helpful."

"We demoed the product before purchasing it."

"I would like to see a lower price."

"The prices are compatible with what they offer. Going forward, I would like them to become more competitive and dominant with their pricing in the market."
