We are able to easily record and save our test setup
The most valuable features are its quality and reliability. The type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy. They align R&D and design their equipment well, including post-processing stuff. The user interface is getting better due to a lot of feedback from users. With testing getting more complicated these days, you have to go through a lot of different drop-down menus and then go through a lot of steps. It's hard to say there is an easy solution, but of course, from the user's point of view, we would like to have something as simple as possible. The good thing about the GUI interface which is, of course, software-based, is that you can record and save your test setup very easily.

The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth
It is a general purpose scope with 4-channel 300 MHz.  The application space that this solution targets is the embedded system of my products. Typically, the signals that we are measuring are digital, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), wireless, and Zigbee The most valuable feature would be the…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"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 breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability... The good thing about the GUI interface which is, of course, software-based, is that you can record and save your test setup."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"The technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support. They sent an engineer to us who gave us some training and tutorials."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
 

Cons

"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"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."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"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."
"While the user interface is good with respect to instrumentation, but with respect to documentation, I do not like it. Its documentation is slightly bad. It was not organized properly. The way it's organized is very difficult to understand, so it takes lot of time to search for one thing in particular."
"The memory needs improvement."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the high side."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The pricing is always high."
"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."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The pricing was good."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
