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 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 user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"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."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"We have often needed technical support often, they were always ready to help us and have been very useful, and if you need help, there is always someone who will help you."
"Keysight is number one and top of the line."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"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 has never been better. They improved it a few years ago with a more modern oscilloscope interface and it's easier to use, even for more junior people in our lab."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
 

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 to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Their GUI is not the best. They need to improve on that. I think their software team needs to put in a little bit more work on how they are presenting the application on the scope."
"While the user interface is good with respect to instrumentation, but with respect to documentation, I do not like it. Its documentation is slightly bad. It was not organized properly. The way it's organized is very difficult to understand, so it takes lot of time to search for one thing in particular."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"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."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"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."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"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."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The pricing is always high."
"It's very expensive."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"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 would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
