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 features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"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."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"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."
"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's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"This is a very good product to do your basic signal integrity tests and check your signals in the systems."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"The technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support. They sent an engineer to us who gave us some training and tutorials."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with some of the features of the scope. I would like them to make it a bit more simplistic... For example, if I want to look at what the total jitter is, they should make it simpler to find that, with different tabs."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradeability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive. If they could provide a more modular type of design, so if we want to upgrade one functionality then we could upgrade that module, rather than all the equipment, that would be helpful. That modularity is something we would like to see."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"The pricing is costly."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"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."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
