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 user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"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 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 jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"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 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."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"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."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 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."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"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 integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"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."
"I would like them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe, built into the array. PERT to be built-in for more specific product call. These would make our lives much easier."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"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."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"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."
"It's very expensive."
"The pricing is always high."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"They're not cheap."
