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

"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"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."
"It improves the functionality of our products and the products that I design, and I use it for characterization every day, and it directly helps."
"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."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"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."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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

"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."
"Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"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."
"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"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."
"They could always work on the software stability of the products, particularly now that everything has switched over to a Windows-based interface."
"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 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 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"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."
