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

"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 Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability; the type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
"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."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"It's very convenient because once we set up everything, we just queue our test plan and then are able to do whatever we want: embed with the key size and the PLOTS auto fix removal."
"I would totally recommend this product."
"The most valuable feature is the Protocol Analyzer for protocol testing, and the user interface is good, neat, intuitive, and easy to use."
"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. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I am not really impressed with the GUI since it has not changed in almost 20 years (since I first began using the product). While the GUI part is okay, I can live with it."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"While the user interface is good with respect to instrumentation, but with respect to documentation, I do not like it. Its documentation is slightly bad. It was not organized properly. The way it's organized is very difficult to understand, so it takes lot of time to search for one thing in particular."
"There is room for improvement with some of the features of the scope. I would like them to make it a bit more simplistic... For example, if I want to look at what the total jitter is, they should make it simpler to find that, with different tabs."
"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."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"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 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 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."
"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."
"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

"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"It's very expensive."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"They're not cheap."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"The pricing is always high."
"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."
