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

"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 features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"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 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."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"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."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"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."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"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."
 

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."
"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 a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"The user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."
"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."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"The user interface can be buggy at times. But I'm an engineer, I figure out how to get around them pretty easily so that's not that much of a concern."
"There is a learning curve depends on the client that I am working with. E.g., if I'm working with a client, and they have a test and measurement equipment company, when I go to another company, the new company may not be using the same model."
"The room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
"Every component has a manufacturing tolerance. I hope Keysight software can help with the tolerance loss in manufacturing variance, which can be ten percent or five percent. In the real world, we cannot fire a really perfect test with very smooth impedance. I would like to see Keysight provide a solution to solve the issue of loss of manufacturing variance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"The pricing is costly."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"They're not cheap."
"It's very expensive."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
