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 can go up to a very high frequency, up to 120 gigahertz. And the user interface is really good. It's really easy to navigate."
"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."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"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."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"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."
"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. 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

"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."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"I would also like to see a more detailed change-notice from version to version, what changed. If they had a more detailed description of what is changing and the reason for it, rather than just releasing, that would be good for us so we know whether or not to upgrade."
"Since we do a lot of post processing when we download our waveforms to our computers, we need more post processing capabilities."
"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."
"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 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."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"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."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."
"The bandwidth is pretty expensive on these instruments, so we typically use it all."
"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."
