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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

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

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

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

"The user interface is good, not very complicated. It is very intuitive."

"It takes 35 to 45 minutes to get acclimated to the solution."

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

"The user interface is good."

"The most valuable features are its ease of use, user interface, and PAM-4. The user interface is good and easy to use."

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."

"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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

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

"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."

"The ruggedness could be improved."

"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."

"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."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"They're not cheap."

"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."

"It's very expensive."

"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."

"The pricing is very expensive."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

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

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

"It could always be cheaper."

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

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

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

"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."

"It costs a quarter of a million. This technology is not cheap."
