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.
Packagine420 - PeerSpot reviewer
We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. I would like them to add more post processing capabilities.
It meet our basic needs. Since we do a lot of post processing when we download our waveforms to our computers, we need more post processing capabilities. If you have used oscilloscopes before, no matter the brand, it's probably easy to learn. The panel may be different, but it's easy to ramp up on the new model. This user interface is good. Most of the oscilloscopes that I have used have good user interfaces. The application space that we are using the solution to target is mostly high-speed signaling or memory interface. I would encourage people to use it and get some experience to see how they feel using it and how they like it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"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."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"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 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."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"We heavily use it to validate the design assumption. In many cases, it was able to point out things that were not available to us in simulation."
"It has a nice high-resolution screen. It is easy to set up the scope triggers, has a lot of scope trigger options for capturing waveforms, and seamlessly goes into the spectrum analysis mode."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
 

Cons

"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"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."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"I would like be able to measure multi-lane simultaneously. Right now, the high-performance jitter solution measures one signal. I would like to capture many at the same time."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"The user interface is not that good. It's not very intuitive. It's functional, but it's not designed for ease of operation. It's designed for functionality."
"The interconnect methods to the device are a little limited right now. I'd like to see other ways of being able to connect to the device."
"Since we do a lot of post processing when we download our waveforms to our computers, we need more post processing capabilities."
"They could always work on the software stability of the products, particularly now that everything has switched over to a Windows-based interface. It creates a lot of crashes and bugs, which typically is a problem among all instruments."
"I would like them to be current with the latest standards. So, as soon as a new standard comes in, ensure that it gets rolled into the existing software."
"I would like more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The pricing is always high."
"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."
"I would like them to include a lot of the add-on options as part of the package. Typically, we start in at a price, and by the time we add up all the options that we need which are available, we are at double or triple the original price."
"The bandwidth is pretty expensive on these instruments, so we typically use it all."
