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."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"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."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"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."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"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."
 

Cons

"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 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 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 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."
"Sometimes, it's quite hard to get the technical support to come onsite. If we run into a hardware, measurement, or software issue, we may have to wait a long time for them to come."
"The user interface can be buggy at times. But I'm an engineer, I figure out how to get around them pretty easily so that's not that much of a concern."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"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."
"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."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"The pricing is costly."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"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 cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"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."
"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."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
