We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I can automate a lot of testing very quickly. With just a push of a button, I can test hundreds of different scenarios without having to do all that manual testing myself.""The user interface is absolutely great. It creates an easy working environment because it has well-integrated hardware and software. So, it is easy to use.""The user interface is very good, easy to understand, and easy to operate.""Because their view is a graphical user interface (GUI), it's very easy to program the tool.""Most of the features are on the screen itself. The naming convention makes it very easy to understand what is needed.""It helps us to save on our investment with a lot of the stuff that we buy, as we can find defects quickly.""It makes programming simpler.""It saves me a lot of time. You can click a button and walk away, basically doing a week's worth of work in 20 minutes, it's a pretty good time saver."

"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.""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."

Cons
"I would like to see them increase the productivity and auxiliary functions.""There is a learning curve. It takes one to two months to get acclimated to the tool.""I would like more speed and a reduction in size.""There is a learning curve. It might take a year if you're not well-versed with it.""The software has room for improvement.""I would like to see more of a tasking user base and documentation inside the instrument itself, rather than having to go online for it.""I would like to have more RF. They're going that way, but still there is some work that they have to do.""National Instruments needs to be focusing on its 5G RF applications. They are aware of this, and that's where most of their R&D is going."

"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.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price is a little steep. A lot of people, like our customers, use a different machine because of the price. The price has to come down a bit so we can do other tests without paying the equipment's high costs."
  • "The pricing was good. Compared to the others, it was very good."
  • "These products are a very low-cost, effective alternative to traditional Big Iron ATE hardware."
  • "It's reasonably priced for what we spend our money on in the lab. It's one of the lower-end purchases."
  • "I would like more competitive pricing."
  • "The cost of the equipment has room for improvement. The pricing could improve."
  • "I have saved almost 50 percent of my total budget for a project by using their products."
  • "They have an initial investment cost, which is quite high. But, along the way, there is so much behind it that the product is really invaluable."

  • "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."
