We performed a comparison between Keysight Oscilloscopes and National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Siglent, Tektronix, Keysight Technologies and others in Oscilloscopes."It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"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."
"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 has never been better. They improved it a few years ago with a more modern oscilloscope interface and it's easier to use, even for more junior people in our lab."
"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."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"It saves me a lot of time. You can click a button and walk away, basically doing a week's worth of work in 20 minutes, it's a pretty good time saver."
"Because their view is a graphical user interface (GUI), it's very easy to program the tool."
"The learning curve was really fast, which was also the reason for saving a lot on the budget."
"The integrated lateral view makes it easier to develop your test systems and test software flow."
"Most of the features are on the screen itself. The naming convention makes it very easy to understand what is needed."
"It makes programming simpler."
"It helps us to save on our investment with a lot of the stuff that we buy, as we can find defects quickly."
"It took us less than a week to get integrated into the solution, which is very fast."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be 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 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."
"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."
"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."
"The software has room for improvement."
"I would like to see more of a tasking user base and documentation inside the instrument itself, rather than having to go online for it."
"I would like to have more RF. They're going that way, but still there is some work that they have to do."
"I would like more speed and a reduction in size."
"There is a learning curve. It takes one to two months to get acclimated to the tool."
"It took a good year until I felt proficient using the product, as It is a complex program. Their newest version has a less steep learning curve, but back closer to 15 years ago, it was a lot less user-friendly."
"I would like to see them increase the productivity and auxiliary functions."
"National Instruments needs to be focusing on its 5G RF applications. They are aware of this, and that's where most of their R&D is going."
