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 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."

"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."

"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."

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

"It's very convenient because once we set up everything, we just queue our test plan and then are able to do whatever we want: embed with the key size and the PLOTS auto fix removal."

"The technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support."

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

"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

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

"The technical support is great; they come in, they show us how to use it, and if we have questions, they'll give presentations."

"For this introductory electrical engineering lab, it's pretty well-suited to my needs."

"Technical support is great."

"It's a good product."

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

"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."

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

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."

"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"It does everything I need it to do, but it is really expensive and I think there are alternatives out there that I could choose that would be cheaper."

"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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

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

"The ruggedness could be improved."

"I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."

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

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

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

"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."

"On the source side, their AWGs don't have enough bandwidth. They need to increase the bandwidth of their AWGs, meaning they have to have a faster sample rate."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"The pricing is very expensive."

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

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

"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."

"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."

"It's very expensive."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

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

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

"We demoed the product before purchasing it."
