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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"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."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"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."
"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."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"When it comes to grabbing precise technical data, having an ecosystem of logging it correctly and working with the diagnostics, they are probably the industry leaders in the field."
"We have done some measurements and also correlated with simulation and we were able to obtain a good match, so that's a good indication of the accuracy."
"Keysight is number one and top of the line."
 

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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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 somewhat difficult when it comes to updates, so this is something that they need to improve. I would like a better GUI with navigation."
"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 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. 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."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"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 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."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"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."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The pricing is costly."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"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."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"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 cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"The pricing is always high."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"It's very expensive."
