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 most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"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 gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"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 supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"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."
"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"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."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
 

Cons

"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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."
"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."
"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 to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"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."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"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."
"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."
"Something I'd like to see is much better documentation and some good examples. That would be very helpful for a new user to get better at using the new test equipment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"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."
"The pricing is costly."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"The pricing is always high."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
