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.

The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth
It is a general purpose scope with 4-channel 300 MHz.  The application space that this solution targets is the embedded system of my products. Typically, the signals that we are measuring are digital, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), wireless, and Zigbee The most valuable feature would be the…

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 type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"Keysight is number one and top of the line."
"When it comes to grabbing precise technical data, having an ecosystem of logging it correctly and working with the diagnostics, they are probably the industry leaders in the field."
"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."
"The jitter management from Keysight is very smart, as it can capture the jitter very quickly and provide some statistical analysis, which is awesome."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"It improves the functionality of our products and the products that I design, and I use it for characterization every day, and it directly helps."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
"There is not really a learning curve."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"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."
"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."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
"The memory needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"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."
"They're not cheap."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The pricing was good."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
