We performed a comparison between National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes and Tektronix Oscilloscopes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Oscilloscopes solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The user interface is absolutely great. It creates an easy working environment because it has well-integrated hardware and software. So, it is easy to use."
"It helps us to save on our investment with a lot of the stuff that we buy, as we can find defects quickly."
"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."
"The learning curve was really fast, which was also the reason for saving a lot on the budget."
"The user interface is very good, easy to understand, and easy to operate."
"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."
"Most of the features are on the screen itself. The naming convention makes it very easy to understand what is needed."
"Because their view is a graphical user interface (GUI), it's very easy to program the tool."
"Valuable features include that it's multi-channel... and has bandwidth filtering. The user interface is good."
"It provides you the best way to view information without opening multiple applications, like a single solution."
"The Ipath and measurements are fantastic and simple to implement."
"The Tektronix user interface is like an Apple iPhone, but for oscilloscopes. It is simple to use."
"When I was looking for a scope for that lab, that five subdivisions per division was important."
"It takes 35 to 45 minutes to get acclimated to the solution."
"It has very fast response with deep memory."
"The most valuable features are everything they do. We primarily use the O-scopes and they help us figure out what's going wrong with our scope out signals."
"I would like to see them increase the productivity and auxiliary functions."
"There is a learning curve. It might take a year if you're not well-versed with it."
"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 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."
"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."
"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 want the system to have a wider bandwidth because high-speed continues to move faster, so there is more bandwidth to cover."
"I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."
"If you are dealing with time domain measurement, I strongly recommend using a vendor other than this company."
"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 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."
"If they could make the user interface even more intuitive that would help. If they could make it easier to read, to know where the buttons are, that's all I need."
"There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."
