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

"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"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."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
 

Cons

"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"I would like be able to measure multi-lane simultaneously. Right now, the high-performance jitter solution measures one signal. I would like to capture many at the same time."
"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."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"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."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"The technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If it is something wrong with the scope, they are okay. However, if something technical goes wrong, like the calibration, it is hard to get the information that we need because it is hard to share everything and explain all the measurements in real-time."
"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 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 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."
"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 more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
 

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."
"The pricing is always high."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"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."
