We performed a comparison between National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes and Tektronix Oscilloscopes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Siglent, Tektronix, Keysight Technologies and others in Oscilloscopes."The user interface is very good, easy to understand, and easy to operate."
"Because their view is a graphical user interface (GUI), it's very easy to program the tool."
"I can automate a lot of testing very quickly. With just a push of a button, I can test hundreds of different scenarios without having to do all that manual testing myself."
"It took us less than a week to get integrated into the solution, which is very fast."
"We haven't need technical support yet because all documentation is well done and there."
"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."
"The user interface is very good. Their boards are reliable. We buy boards from them, they are reliable, and we don't have problems with them."
"The sensitivity of the trigger and the reliability are the most valuable features."
"Being able to monitor data from a CAN bus while the vehicle is running will cut down a lot of the feedback for the design mode."
"This solution provides high confidence in the data being presented in the measurement to inform a design decision going forward."
"Valuable features include that it's multi-channel... and has bandwidth filtering. The user interface is good."
"Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices."
"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."
"It is easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it."
"Tektronix is robust and reliable. It's a hammer-resistant machine, a fact which is most important on our manufacturing floor."
"There is a learning curve. It might take a year if you're not well-versed with it."
"There is a learning curve. It takes one to two months to get acclimated to the tool."
"I would like to see them increase the productivity and auxiliary functions."
"I would like more speed and a reduction in size."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"If you are dealing with time domain measurement, I strongly recommend using a vendor other than this company."
"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."
"On the source side, their AWGs don't have enough bandwidth. They need to increase the bandwidth of their AWGs, meaning they have to have a faster sample rate."
"I would like if they could have more customer support engagement."
"I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."
"I would like to see some WiFi capabilities. I would like to upgrade equipment, and if I was in the U.S., I could do that with WiFi capabilities."
"I know you can get the Bit Masks but it's generally really expensive to get the eye diagrams and Bit Masks with it. I wish they were included or cheaper."
"The ruggedness could be improved."
