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 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 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."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"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."
"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"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 technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support. They sent an engineer to us who gave us some training and tutorials."
"It improves the functionality of our products and the products that I design, and I use it for characterization every day, and it directly helps."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability; the type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
 

Cons

"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 and 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."
"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 the frequency range to be extended because of the speed."
"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. It restarts a lot."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"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."
"I would like them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe Gen5, built into the array."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradeability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive. If they could provide a more modular type of design, so if we want to upgrade one functionality then we could upgrade that module, rather than all the equipment, that would be helpful. That modularity is something we would like to see."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is costly."
"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."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"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."
"They're not cheap."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"It's very expensive."
"The pricing is always high."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
