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 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 most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"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 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."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"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's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 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 a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"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."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"I am not really impressed with the GUI since it has not changed in almost 20 years (since I first began using the product). While the GUI part is okay, I can live with it."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is costly."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"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."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
