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 product's functionality makes things easier for my partner, who is doing the PCIe design. He is able measure the product's usage and bit error rate."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"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."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability; the type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
"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 Protocol Analyzer for protocol testing, and the user interface is good, neat, intuitive, and easy to use."
"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."
"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 embedded protocol analysis."
"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."
 

Cons

"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"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 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 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 more customized functions, so we can do the programming and definitions ourselves. There is an automation flow to capture this signal, and we would like to do this ourselves."
"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."
"They have some software applications but their GUI is not the best. The user interface is clunky at times."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"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 more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
"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."
"Since we do a lot of post processing when we download our waveforms to our computers, we need more post processing capabilities."
"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 them to add more post processing capabilities (e.g., with new product specifications)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very expensive."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"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."
"The bandwidth is pretty expensive on these instruments, so we typically use it all."
"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."
