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

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

"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."

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

"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."

"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."

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

"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."

"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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

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

"B-scan is its most valuable feature."

"The user interface is good."

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

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

"Valuable features include that it's multi-channel... and has bandwidth filtering. The user interface is good."

"It has very fast response with deep memory."

More Tektronix Oscilloscopes pros

Cons

"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."

"While the user interface is good with respect to instrumentation, but with respect to documentation, I do not like it. Its documentation is slightly bad. It was not organized properly. The way it's organized is very difficult to understand, so it takes lot of time to search for one thing in particular."

"There is a learning curve depends on the client that I am working with. E.g., if I'm working with a client, and they have a test and measurement equipment company, when I go to another company, the new company may not be using the same model."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

"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."

"It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need."

"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."

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

"We would like more features for the CAN bus decoding, such as importing DDC files, which allows us to take the raw data and convert it into engineering units."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

"It could always be cheaper."

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

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

"In the 100 gigabit Ethernet and 400 gigabit Ethernet category, everything is in the multi-hundred thousand dollar range, so it was fair pricing because everything is expensive."

"The cost has room for improvement. Though compared to other companies, it's okay."

"They have academic pricing which is helpful."

"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."

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