Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is quite reliable and straightforward to use. Typically, there are no households that we have to set up.""I have been able to do quality measurements that I have been unable to achieve with the equipment from some other vendors.""It has a very low noise floor.""The ability to have both the time domain and frequency domain, where the frequency domain is a very broad spectral plot, is extremely valuable.""The user interface is pretty good. Right now, it is more than what we expected. It's easy and fast to use.""The noise floor for reference clocks is pretty low, so this instrument is able to measure it where others cannot.""The most valuable features are the accuracy and repeatability.""The most valuable features are its wide bandwidth and 8 ports."

"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.""Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers.""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
"It would be good if they would try to automate most things because it has more pressing buttons and repetitive work. If there were automation scripts that they could provide, that would improve things.""We would like to have autotracking and auto error tracking for regression testing. We would like to know what error happened, when it happened, and during what scenario (such as setup), because right now we have to manually look at when it happened.""The Rohde & Schwarz user interface is very oriented towards drop and drag functions on the screen. Some of those are just not obvious how to use. You have to have somebody get you over the hump.""The depth the the user GUI could be improved. It is a bit deep for new users. During the first two weeks we spent a lot of time finding the tabs.""There was a learning curve. Their use interface and the way that their products work are not intuitive to somebody who switches from other vendors.""The size of the unit is too big, too heavy. It has to be made more portable and smaller.""The user interface could be improved, e.g., the documentation on the menus. I have to open a separate document to figure out the functionality sometimes.""Sometimes, it's difficult to find menus on the user interface."

"I would like more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow.""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.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is very competitive."
  • "The pricing is way too expensive."
  • "The pricing is too high."
  • "One of the things I liked less, not only me but also my company, was that Rohde & Schwarz are very expensive... There are solutions that are almost the same that sell at better prices."
  • "The pricing is very expensive."
  • "If we are looking to purchase a product, we ask for a loaner for a month or so to test it out. Then, we will make a decision."
  • "The pricing is expensive, but very fair when you look at the technology that you are getting. These are higher-end pieces which have a ton of engineering in them that is not evident on the package. However, you could imagine the amount of time that the vendor has spent on the firmware, optimizing the internal layout, developing custom ICs, etc. They're releasing a mass produced product, but these things are built to last."
  • "Buying Rohde & Schwarz gear is like buying a Mercedes. It raises eyebrows when you're asking for that level of performance."

  • "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."
