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

"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"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."
"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 user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"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."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"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."
"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"Sometimes, the forms keep changing because of new product technology. If they could reduce the amount of change in the form, this would be good."
"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."
"The user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"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."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"There is a learning curve depends on the client that I am working with. E.g., if I'm working with a client, and they have a test and measurement equipment company, when I go to another company, the new company may not be using the same model."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"I am not really impressed with the GUI since it has not changed in almost 20 years (since I first began using the product). While the GUI part is okay, I can live with it."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"Something I'd like to see is much better documentation and some good examples. That would be very helpful for a new user to get better at using the new test equipment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"The pricing is costly."
"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."
"It's very expensive."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"They're not cheap."
"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 price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"The pricing is on the high side."
