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

"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"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."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"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 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 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."
"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 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."
"This is a very good product to do your basic signal integrity tests and check your signals in the systems."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected; using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"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 type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 the frequency range to be extended because of the speed."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Some of the models have only two ports. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"Something I'd like to see is much better documentation and some good examples. That would be very helpful for a new user to get better at using the new test equipment."
"I would also like to see a more detailed change-notice from version to version, what changed. If they had a more detailed description of what is changing and the reason for it, rather than just releasing, that would be good for us so we know whether or not to upgrade."
"The room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing. For example, once you're done measuring, it would be nice to be able to generate some data starting from the measurement data."
"I would like them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe Gen5, built into the array."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"The pricing is costly."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"The pricing is always high."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"It's very expensive."
