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 Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"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."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"The product's functionality makes things easier for my partner, who is doing the PCIe design. He is able measure the product's usage and bit error rate."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"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 technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support."
"I would totally recommend this product."
"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."
"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."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the Protocol Analyzer for protocol testing, and the user interface is good, neat, intuitive, and easy to use."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."
 

Cons

"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"We tried to connect multiple computers with a KVM switch but we could not do that using Keysight VNA."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive."
"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."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"Some of the models have only two ports. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"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."
"I would like them to add more post processing capabilities (e.g., with new product specifications)."
"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."
"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 more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They're not cheap."
"The pricing is always high."
"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."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"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."
