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 most valuable features are its quality and reliability; the type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
"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."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"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 simple. Everyone can use 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."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"Keysight is number one and top of the line."
"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."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
"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 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."

Cons

"Some of the models have only two ports. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"Every component has a manufacturing tolerance. I hope Keysight software can help with the tolerance loss in manufacturing variance, which can be ten percent or five percent. In the real world, we cannot fire a really perfect test with very smooth impedance. I would like to see Keysight provide a solution to solve the issue of loss of manufacturing variance."
"The technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If it is something wrong with the scope, they are okay. However, 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."
"Sometimes, it's quite hard to get the technical support to come onsite. If we run into a hardware, measurement, or software issue, we may have to wait a long time for them to come."
"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."
"They have some software applications but their GUI is not the best. The user interface is clunky at times."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"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."
"I would like them to add more post processing capabilities (e.g., with new product specifications)."
"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 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."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"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 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."
