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 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 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."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"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 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."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"When it comes to grabbing precise technical data, having an ecosystem of logging it correctly and working with the diagnostics, they are probably the industry leaders in the field."
"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability... The good thing about the GUI interface which is, of course, software-based, is that you can record and save your test setup."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"But I would highly recommend this product."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
 

Cons

"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"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."
"The user interface is not that good. It's not very intuitive. It's functional, but it's not designed for ease of operation. It's designed for functionality."
"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."
"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."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"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."
"The pricing is costly."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"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."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"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."
