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

"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"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 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 jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"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 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."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"We rely on the data and we make our design calls, risk-assessment, all based on the measurements that we take with the Keysight equipment."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"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."
"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."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
 

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."
"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."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"I would like the frequency range to be extended because of the speed."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"I am not really impressed with the GUI since it has not changed in almost 20 years (since I first began using the product). While the GUI part is okay, I can live with it."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"They have some software applications but their GUI is not the best. The user interface is clunky at times."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive."
"The room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The pricing is costly."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"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."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"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 on the high side."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
