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

"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."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"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."
"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's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"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 often needed technical support often, they were always ready to help us and have been very useful, and if you need help, there is always someone who will help you."
"It can go up to a very high frequency, up to 120 gigahertz. And the user interface is really good. It's really easy to navigate."
"It improves the functionality of our products and the products that I design, and I use it for characterization every day, and it directly helps."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"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 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."
"While the user interface is good with respect to instrumentation, but with respect to documentation, I do not like it. Its documentation is slightly bad. It was not organized properly. The way it's organized is very difficult to understand, so it takes lot of time to search for one thing in particular."
"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."
"Sometimes, it's quite hard to get the technical support to come onsite. If we run into a hardware, measurement, or software issue, we may have to wait a long time for them to come."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"It does everything I need it to do, but it is really expensive and I think there are alternatives out there that I could choose that would be cheaper."
"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

"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"The pricing is costly."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"They're not cheap."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
