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.

Pros

"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"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 Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"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."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"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."
"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."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"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, and in many cases, it was able to point out things that were not available to us in simulation."
 

Cons

"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."
"It does everything I need it to do, but it is really expensive and I think there are alternatives out there that I could choose that would be cheaper."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"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."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"I would like them to add more post processing capabilities (e.g., with new product specifications)."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"It's very expensive."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The pricing is always high."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"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."
