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

"When it comes to grabbing precise technical data, having an ecosystem of logging it correctly and working with the diagnostics, they are probably the industry leaders in the field."
"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."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability... The good thing about the GUI interface which is, of course, software-based, is that you can record and save your test setup."
"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."
"We have often needed technical support often, they were always ready to help us and have been very useful, and if you need help, there is always someone who will help you."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"By pre-qualifying test devices with the tool, we're able to go back and make design changes before committing to silicon."
"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."
"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."
"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

"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"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."
"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 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."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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)."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the high side."
"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."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"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."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."
"The bandwidth is pretty expensive on these instruments, so we typically use it all."
"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."
