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 features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"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."
"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 jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"The user interface is very user-friendly. You can use a lot of functions in their scope and will provide them for you. You can update the scope's software by asking Keysight to update the software when you want."
"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"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."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
 

Cons

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"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 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."
"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 a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"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."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"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."
"They have some software applications but their GUI is not the best. The user interface is clunky at times."
"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."
 

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."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The pricing is costly."
"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."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"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."
"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."
"They're not cheap."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"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."
