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."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"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."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"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 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 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 very simple. Everyone can use it."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"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."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"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."
"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."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
 

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."
"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."
"I would like the frequency range to be extended because of the speed."
"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 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."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"Some of the models have only two ports. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"I would like be able to measure multi-lane simultaneously. Right now, the high-performance jitter solution measures one signal. I would like to capture many at the same time."
"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."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"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."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"The pricing is costly."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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 would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"It's very expensive."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"They're not cheap."
"The pricing is always high."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
