We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick.""The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it.""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.""Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data.""Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features.""Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."

"It has a good user interface. It's easy to use, easy to read. It's intuitive.""It has digital scopes with a high bandwidth and digitized signal. It can do whatever you want with the signal. Since its user-friendly software allows you to work with the signal, which is pretty cool.""I trust Tektronix for its accuracy. The probes of solution fit my application. E.g., the speed of probes, the way that it is using probes with designs, and the probes' size.""Valuable features include that it's multi-channel... and has bandwidth filtering. The user interface is good.""The most valuable feature is the automation component in setting up some of these measurements.""The user interface is excellent. The GUI is so self-explanatory and there are the same knobs everywhere; the design is a standard design line.""I haven't seen anything similar where it has a spectrum analyzer and regular scope together.""The user interface is good."

Cons
"There is a learning curve depends on the client that I am working with. E.g., if I'm working with a client, and they have a test and measurement equipment company, when I go to another company, the new company may not be using the same model.""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 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.""I would also like to see a more detailed change-notice from version to version, what changed. If they had a more detailed description of what is changing and the reason for it, rather than just releasing, that would be good for us so we know whether or not to upgrade.""We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation.""They can improve, but I don't know how.""The technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If it is something wrong with the scope, they are okay. However, if something technical goes wrong, like the calibration, it is hard to get the information that we need because it is hard to share everything and explain all the measurements in real-time.""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."

"The ruggedness could be improved.""I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there.""We are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset.""I am not utilizing the full bandwidth of this product.""I would like if they could have more customer support engagement.""The power of the computer inside is weak. Sometimes I send a lot of data and I'll feel the lag... I would like to see them improve the processing power.""If you are dealing with time domain measurement, I strongly recommend using a vendor other than this company.""I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
  • "The pricing is good for what they offer."
  • "If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
  • "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."
  • "It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
  • "We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
  • "The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."

  • "The prices are compatible with what they offer. Going forward, I would like them to become more competitive and dominant with their pricing in the market."
  • "They're all pretty expensive. If everything costs that much, I suppose the pricing is fair."
  • "I would like to see a lower price."
  • "It's cost-effective... It might cost a lot of money, but if we need it we buy it."
  • "The pricing is not too high and not too low."
  • "It could always be cheaper."
  • "Isolated probes are good to have, as most of the scopes don't have it. It drives up the cost when you have to buy isolated probes."
  • "Tektronix Oscilloscopes are really expensive for small businesses. The low-end scopes don't really compare performance-wise to what the other companies provide, like RIGOL . Mostly that just has to do with the software options."
