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 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 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."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"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."
"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."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"This is a very good product to do your basic signal integrity tests and check your signals in the systems."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
 

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 to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"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 a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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 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."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"The room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"Every component has a manufacturing tolerance. I hope Keysight software can help with the tolerance loss in manufacturing variance, which can be ten percent or five percent. In the real world, we cannot fire a really perfect test with very smooth impedance. I would like to see Keysight provide a solution to solve the issue of loss of manufacturing variance."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"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."
"It's very expensive."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
