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

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

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

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

"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 very user-friendly. You can use a lot of functions in their scope and will provide them for you. You can update the scope's software by asking Keysight to update the software when you want."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

"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."

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

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

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

"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 Tektronix user interface is like an Apple iPhone, but for oscilloscopes. It is simple to use."

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

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."

"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."

"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 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."

"If you are dealing with time domain measurement, I strongly recommend using a vendor other than this company."

"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."

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

"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 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."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"It's very expensive."

"The pricing is very expensive."

"They're not cheap."

"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."

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

"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 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."

"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."

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

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