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 nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"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."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"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."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"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, 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would also like to see a more detailed change-notice from version to version, what changed. If they had a more detailed description of what is changing and the reason for it, rather than just releasing, that would be good for us so we know whether or not to upgrade."
"The room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
"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."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"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."
"They have some software applications but their GUI is not the best. The user interface is clunky at times."
"Since we do a lot of post processing when we download our waveforms to our computers, we need more post processing capabilities."
"I would like them to add more post processing capabilities (e.g., with new product specifications)."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"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."
"The pricing is always high."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"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 pricing is on the high side."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"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."
