IC Validation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees
The Pulse Pattern Generator and Error Detector are co-located, making it easier to use. However, I would like a better GUI.
Take a look and do some demos. It will help you decide whether to go with this equipment or not. It took us about a week to become acclimated to the solution. We are not using this product to support connected devices, e.g., IoT development, nor are we planning to going forward.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and Error Detector are co-located, which makes it easier to use because I can just probe it directly on the PCB."
"If your intent is to experiment with your signal to see if some boosting helps or your silicon doesn't have a lot of Tap features, then this is a good product to start with."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme, and we use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation, and it's also quick and easy to use."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"The information that I can get with the VNA is useful for me to select materials, like copper, and all the information that it can provide is really useful, due to the processing of the data."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"The user interface has never been better. They improved it a few years ago with a more modern oscilloscope interface and it's easier to use, even for more junior people in our lab."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"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."
"We have done some measurements and also correlated with simulation and we were able to obtain a good match, so that's a good indication of the accuracy."
 

Cons

"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved; it's not quite stable and restarts a lot."
"I would like the frequency range to be extended because of the speed."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"Right now, it's a minimal tool. They could make it more dynamic by adding dynamic features, which could help us with doing effective analysis."
"The user interface is somewhat difficult when it comes to updates, so this is something that they need to improve. I would like a better GUI with navigation."
"I would like the frequency range to be extended because of the speed. Electronics are moving forward to higher speeds, so it's better to have higher frequencies."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"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."
"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 more customized functions, so we can do the programming and definitions ourselves. There is an automation flow to capture this signal, and we would like to do this ourselves."
"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."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"I would also like to see a more detailed change-notice from version to version, what changed. If they had a more detailed description of what is changing and the reason for it, rather than just releasing, that would be good for us so we know whether or not to upgrade."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"The pricing is costly."
"It's very expensive equipment and cannot be upgraded after five years. If you buy equipment today, in five years, it won't be upgradeable. You have to upgrade it within the first five years that you buy it."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"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 major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"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."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
