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 breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"We rely on the data and we make our design calls, risk-assessment, all based on the measurements that we take with the Keysight equipment."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."
"The user interface is very user-friendly. You can use a lot of functions in their scope and will provide them for you. You can update the scope's software by asking Keysight to update the software when you want."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
"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."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"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

"I would like be able to measure multi-lane simultaneously. Right now, the high-performance jitter solution measures one signal. I would like to capture many at the same time."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"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."
"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."
"I would like more customized functions, so we can do the programming and definitions ourselves. There is an automation flow to capture this signal, and we would like to do this ourselves."
"Something I'd like to see is much better documentation and some good examples. That would be very helpful for a new user to get better at using the new test equipment."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"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."
"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."
"I would like more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"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 expensive, but the quality matters."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"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 bandwidth is pretty expensive on these instruments, so we typically use it all."
"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."
