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 user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"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 most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"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 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."
"The product's functionality makes things easier for my partner, who is doing the PCIe design. He is able measure the product's usage and bit error rate."
"It's very convenient because once we set up everything, we just queue our test plan and then are able to do whatever we want: embed with the key size and the PLOTS auto fix removal."
"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."
"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."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability; the type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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 to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"The user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with some of the features of the scope. I would like them to make it a bit more simplistic... For example, if I want to look at what the total jitter is, they should make it simpler to find that, with different tabs."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"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."
"Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"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."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"They're not cheap."
