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

"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 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."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"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 jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"I would totally recommend this product."
"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."
"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

"Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"The room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"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."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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)."
"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."
"I would like more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"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 major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"It's very expensive."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"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."
