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.

It has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers, but I need more technical details on what each packet represents
We are using it for debugging PCIe PETracers. We are using it to measure PCI Express signals. We are using it to support connect devices in enterprise products Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers. The…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"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."
"The technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support."
"But I would highly recommend this product."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"Keysight is number one and top of the line."
"We heavily use it to validate the design assumption. In many cases, it was able to point out things that were not available to us in simulation."
"I would totally recommend this product."
"By pre-qualifying test devices with the tool, we're able to go back and make design changes before committing to silicon."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."
"It has a nice high-resolution screen. It is easy to set up the scope triggers, has a lot of scope trigger options for capturing waveforms, and seamlessly goes into the spectrum analysis mode."
"We heavily use it to validate the design assumption, and in many cases, it was able to point out things that were not available to us in simulation."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"Some of the models have only two ports. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"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."
"I am not really impressed with the GUI since it has not changed in almost 20 years (since I first began using the product). While the GUI part is okay, I can live with it."
"I would like them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe, built into the array. PERT to be built-in for more specific product call. These would make our lives much easier."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"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."
"The interconnect methods to the device are a little limited right now. I'd like to see other ways of being able to connect to the device."
"I would like more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
"They could always work on the software stability of the products, particularly now that everything has switched over to a Windows-based interface."
"I would like them to be current with the latest standards. So, as soon as a new standard comes in, ensure that it gets rolled into the existing software."
"I would like them to be current with the latest standards. So, as soon as a new standard comes in, ensure that it gets rolled into the existing software."
"Since we do a lot of post processing when we download our waveforms to our computers, we need more post processing capabilities."
"The interconnect methods to the device are a little limited right now. I'd like to see other ways of being able to connect to the device."
"I would like them to add more post processing capabilities (e.g., with new product specifications)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the high side."
"Pricing can be improved a bit. They try to make the pricing competitive but I think there are times that the competitors have good pricing."
"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."
"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 pricing is very expensive."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."
"The bandwidth is pretty expensive on these instruments, so we typically use it all."
"I would like them to include a lot of the add-on options as part of the package. Typically, we start in at a price, and by the time we add up all the options that we need which are available, we are at double or triple the original price."
