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."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"The user interface has never been better; they improved it a few years ago with a more modern oscilloscope interface and it's easier to use, even for more junior people in our lab."
"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."
"The user interface is very user-friendly. You can use a lot of functions in their scope and will provide them for you. You can update the scope's software by asking Keysight to update the software when you want."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"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."
"By pre-qualifying test devices with the tool, we're able to go back and make design changes before committing to silicon."
"I would totally recommend this product."
"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 are able to capture the transient domain accurately."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
 

Cons

"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 room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"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."
"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."
"We tried to connect multiple computers with a KVM switch but we could not do that using Keysight VNA. Keysight VNA comes with the PC inside it. We have other equipment as well, and we tried to combine it so that we had one monitor to control everything. With Keysight we could not do it. That's something of an inconvenience."
"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"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 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. It creates a lot of crashes and bugs, which typically is a problem among all instruments."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very expensive."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"They're not cheap."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."
"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."
