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

"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."
"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 simple. Everyone can use it."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"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."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"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 more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"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 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."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"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."
"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."
"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

"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"It's very expensive."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"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."
