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."

"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."

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

"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."

"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."

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

"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

"Being able to monitor data from a CAN bus while the vehicle is running will cut down a lot of the feedback for the design mode."

"The sensitivity of the trigger and the reliability are the most valuable features."

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

"It is easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it."

"We have multiple systems for manufacturing tests, and it's critical for our support. The support increases our productivity."

"It has very fast response with deep memory."

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

"It has digital scopes with a high bandwidth and digitized signal. It can do whatever you want with the signal. Since its user-friendly software allows you to work with the signal, which is pretty cool."

Cons

"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."

"The user interface can be buggy at times. But I'm an engineer, I figure out how to get around them pretty easily so that's not that much of a concern."

"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."

"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."

"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."

"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."

"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."

"The user interface is not that good. It's not very intuitive. It's functional, but it's not designed for ease of operation. It's designed for functionality."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

"The ruggedness could be improved."

"I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."

"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."

"I want the system to have a wider bandwidth because high-speed continues to move faster, so there is more bandwidth to cover."

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

"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes."

"I would like to see more integration into machine learning because that's what we try to apply it to."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the high side."

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

"They're not cheap."

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

"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 good for what they offer."

"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."

"The pricing is always high."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

"We demoed the product before purchasing it."

"Tecktronix pricing tends to be pretty fair and reasonable with current market trends. They don't usually bump up the price too much."

"It could always be cheaper."

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

"It's available on the low-end scopes for free, but on the higher-end scopes, it is expensive. Therefore, it's a bit more difficult to make stuff work."

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

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

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