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's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"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."
"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 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."
"I would totally recommend this product."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
"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 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."
"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."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
 

Cons

"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradeability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive. If they could provide a more modular type of design, so if we want to upgrade one functionality then we could upgrade that module, rather than all the equipment, that would be helpful. That modularity is something we would like to see."
"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."
"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."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"Sometimes, it's quite hard to get the technical support to come onsite. If we run into a hardware, measurement, or software issue, we may have to wait a long time for them to come."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 add more post processing capabilities (e.g., with new product specifications)."
 

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 can be improved a bit. They try to make the pricing competitive but I think there are times that the competitors have good pricing."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"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."
"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."
