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 user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."
"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."
"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

"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradeability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive. If they could provide a more modular type of design, so if we want to upgrade one functionality then we could upgrade that module, rather than all the equipment, that would be helpful. That modularity is something we would like to see."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"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."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"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 can be buggy at times. But I'm an engineer, I figure out how to get around them pretty easily so that's not that much of a concern."
"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 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

"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"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."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"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."
