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 user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"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."
"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."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"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 features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"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."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"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."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected; using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"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."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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 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."
"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 to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved; it's not quite stable and restarts a lot."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"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."
"The technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If something technical goes wrong, like the calibration, it is hard to get the information that we need because it is hard to share everything and explain all the measurements in real-time."
"The room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"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 the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing. For example, once you're done measuring, it would be nice to be able to generate some data starting from the measurement data."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"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."
"The pricing is costly."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"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's very expensive."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"The pricing is always high."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
