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."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"When it comes to grabbing precise technical data, having an ecosystem of logging it correctly and working with the diagnostics, they are probably the industry leaders in the field."
"Keysight is number one and top of the line."
"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"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."
"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."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"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."
"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

"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."
"We tried to connect multiple computers with a KVM switch but we could not do that using Keysight VNA. Keysight VNA comes with the PC inside it. We have other equipment as well, and we tried to combine it so that we had one monitor to control everything. With Keysight we could not do it. That's something of an inconvenience."
"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing. For example, once you're done measuring, it would be nice to be able to generate some data starting from the measurement data."
"Every component has a manufacturing tolerance. I hope Keysight software can help with the tolerance loss in manufacturing variance, which can be ten percent or five percent. In the real world, we cannot fire a really perfect test with very smooth impedance. I would like to see Keysight provide a solution to solve the issue of loss of manufacturing variance."
"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."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"They have some software applications but their GUI is not the best. The user interface is clunky at times."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"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 more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
"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 add more post processing capabilities (e.g., with new product specifications)."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"Our solution is upgradable. However, upgrading depends on how much money the company is willing to spend, because each upgrade will take a million dollars."
"It's very expensive."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"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."
