KR
Helps us ensure our materials' performance and DKDF measurements
I would definitely recommend trying this product. It's a really reliable and high-performance machine. In terms of a learning curve on the equipment, I had some training on the VNA before we purchased it, so for me training was done within a week or so. It was not really hard. But for colleagues, it took them some time to learn it. Upgrades are always welcome. Apart from VNA, we need to purchase all the fixtures, other equipment to connect to VNA. They are very expensive tools, and that's part of upgrading what we are doing in the lab. The solution, performance-wise is a ten out of ten. Price-wise, it's a six out of ten.

Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good
Adapting to the new products is taking some time, but this is normal procedure. The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes. The user interface of the scopes could be simpler. Windows-based scopes could also be smaller.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"The product's functionality makes things easier for my partner, who is doing the PCIe design. He is able measure the product's usage and bit error rate."
"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."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"Using the user interface is pretty easy to use. Everybody can use it in engineering area."
"Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good."
 

Cons

"I would like them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe, built into the array. PERT to be built-in for more specific product call. These would make our lives much easier."
"We tried to connect multiple computers with a KVM switch but we could not do that using Keysight VNA. Keysight VNA comes with the PC inside it. We have other equipment as well, and we tried to combine it so that we had one monitor to control everything. With Keysight we could not do it. That's something of an inconvenience."
"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."
"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."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"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."
"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."
"The customer relationship should be more advanced/developed. Documents on the website should be more accessible and easily understandable."
"The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is always high."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"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."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
