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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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 breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"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."
"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 nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"But I would highly recommend this product."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
 

Cons

"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 product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"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 a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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 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 user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."
"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."
"It does everything I need it to do, but it is really expensive and I think there are alternatives out there that I could choose that would be cheaper."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"The room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"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."
"They have some software applications but their GUI is not the best. The user interface is clunky at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"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."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"Pricing can be improved a bit. They try to make the pricing competitive but I think there are times that the competitors have good pricing."
"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."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"They're not cheap."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
