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

"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"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."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"We rely on the data and we make our design calls, risk-assessment, all based on the measurements that we take with the Keysight equipment."
"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."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the Protocol Analyzer for protocol testing, and the user interface is good, neat, intuitive, and easy to use."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."
"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."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately."
"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."
"I would totally recommend this product."
 

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."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"They have some software applications but their GUI is not the best. The user interface is clunky at times."
"Something I'd like to see is much better documentation and some good examples. That would be very helpful for a new user to get better at using the new test equipment."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"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."
"They could always work on the software stability of the products, particularly now that everything has switched over to a Windows-based interface. It creates a lot of crashes and bugs, which typically is a problem among all instruments."
"I would like more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the high side."
"They're not cheap."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"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."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"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."
"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."
