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 easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"We have often needed technical support often, they were always ready to help us and have been very useful, and if you need help, there is always someone who will help you."
"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."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately."
"The most valuable feature is the Protocol Analyzer for protocol testing, and the user interface is good, neat, intuitive, and easy to use."
"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."
"By pre-qualifying test devices with the tool, we're able to go back and make design changes before committing to silicon."
"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."
"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 are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."
 

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."
"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."
"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing."
"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."
"The technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. 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."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"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

"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"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."
"They're not cheap."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"It's very expensive."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"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."
