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 does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"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."
"Keysight is number one and top of the line."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"We have done some measurements and also correlated with simulation and we were able to obtain a good match, so that's a good indication of the accuracy."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
"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."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"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, and in many cases, it was able to point out things that were not available to us in simulation."
"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."
 

Cons

"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"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."
"Their GUI is not the best. They need to improve on that. I think their software team needs to put in a little bit more work on how they are presenting the application on the scope."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"It does everything I need it to do, but it is really expensive and I think there are alternatives out there that I could choose that would be cheaper."
"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."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"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 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."
"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."
"I would like more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"They're not cheap."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"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."
"It's very expensive."
"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."
