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 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 feature is its frequency range."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"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."
"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"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."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
 

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."
"The user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."
"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 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."
"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."
"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 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."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash."
"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."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"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 them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe Gen5, built into the array."
"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"The pricing is costly."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"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."
"The pricing is always high."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
