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 most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"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 user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"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."
"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"Keysight is number one and top of the line."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"The user interface is very user-friendly. You can use a lot of functions in their scope and will provide them for you. You can update the scope's software by asking Keysight to update the software when you want."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected; using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
 

Cons

"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 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. It restarts a lot."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved; it's not quite stable and 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."
"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."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"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."
"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."
"We tried to connect multiple computers with a KVM switch but we could not do that using Keysight VNA."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive."
"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

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"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 pricing is costly."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The pricing is always high."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"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."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
