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.

B-scan is its most valuable feature. However, we are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset.

Try it if it is within your budget. It is a good product. The learning curve is very quick. It takes about one or two days. While we have plans to use this product to support connect devices, we are not currently doing so. We are currently measuring signals from 3.0 and 4.0, and looking for 5.0.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."

"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."

"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."

"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."

"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."

"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."

"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."

"The user interface is very user-friendly. You can use a lot of functions in their scope and will provide them for you. You can update the scope's software by asking Keysight to update the software when you want."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

"The user interface is good."

"It is easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it."

"The user interface is excellent. The GUI is so self-explanatory and there are the same knobs everywhere; the design is a standard design line."

"I haven't seen anything similar where it has a spectrum analyzer and regular scope together."

"When I was looking for a scope for that lab, that five subdivisions per division was important."

"I trust Tektronix for its accuracy. The probes of solution fit my application. E.g., the speed of probes, the way that it is using probes with designs, and the probes' size."

"It has very fast response with deep memory."

"B-scan is its most valuable feature."

Cons

"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."

"The user interface is not that good. It's not very intuitive. It's functional, but it's not designed for ease of operation. It's designed for functionality."

"I would like them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe, built into the array. PERT to be built-in for more specific product call. These would make our lives much easier."

"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."

"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."

"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."

"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."

"The technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If it is something wrong with the scope, they are okay. However, if something technical goes wrong, like the calibration, it is hard to get the information that we need because it is hard to share everything and explain all the measurements in real-time."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

"There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."

"I would like if they could have more customer support engagement."

"I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."

"I know you can get the Bit Masks but it's generally really expensive to get the eye diagrams and Bit Masks with it. I wish they were included or cheaper."

"The power of the computer inside is weak. Sometimes I send a lot of data and I'll feel the lag... I would like to see them improve the processing power."

"They need to add more memory to this machine."

"The ruggedness could be improved."

"I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."

"It's very expensive."

"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."

"The pricing is on the high side."

"The pricing is very expensive."

"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."

"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."

"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is okay. It was within our budget."

"The cost has room for improvement. Though compared to other companies, it's okay."

"The pricing is very expensive."

"It is a great price for a great product."

"It's cost-effective... It might cost a lot of money, but if we need it we buy it."

"The pricing is not too high and not too low."

"They're all pretty expensive. If everything costs that much, I suppose the pricing is fair."

"In the 100 gigabit Ethernet and 400 gigabit Ethernet category, everything is in the multi-hundred thousand dollar range, so it was fair pricing because everything is expensive."
