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 jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"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."
"It improves the functionality of our products and the products that I design, and I use it for characterization every day, and it directly helps."
"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 does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"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."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"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."
"I would totally recommend this product."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
 

Cons

"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"We tried to connect multiple computers with a KVM switch but we could not do that using Keysight VNA."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash."
"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."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"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 more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
"I would like them to add more post processing capabilities (e.g., with new product specifications)."
"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 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"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."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"It's very expensive."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"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."
