We performed a comparison between Keysight Oscilloscopes and Rohde & Schwarz 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."It can go up to a very high frequency, up to 120 gigahertz. And the user interface is really good. It's really easy to navigate."
"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."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"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 noise floor for reference clocks is pretty low, so this instrument is able to measure it where others cannot."
"The ability to have both the time domain and frequency domain, where the frequency domain is a very broad spectral plot, is extremely valuable."
"The product is quite reliable and straightforward to use. Typically, there are no households that we have to set up."
"The instrument has a wide bandwidth. You can sweep across a wide range of frequencies."
"It is easy to connect with, accurate, reliable, and hardly fails."
"Most of the features offered are free, like serial data analyzers or jitter measurements."
"The noise sensitivity: It has a low noise floor."
"The characterization of RF channels was helpful... The user interface was very simple to operate and there were a lot of tutorials."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing. For example, once you're done measuring, it would be nice to be able to generate some data starting from the measurement data."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"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."
"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 like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"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."
"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 Rohde & Schwarz user interface is very oriented towards drop and drag functions on the screen. Some of those are just not obvious how to use. You have to have somebody get you over the hump."
"They could use an RDA interface."
"In the next release, I would like to see report generation. It would make it a lot easier to refer back to and, when doing final testing, seeing what went on during the pre-test would help."
"I'm against the Windows-based tools. Now everybody is running scopes, VNAs, and all their tools based on Windows. I don't want to see that in the future."
"It would be good if they would try to automate most things because it has more pressing buttons and repetitive work. If there were automation scripts that they could provide, that would improve things."
"Sometimes, it's difficult to find menus on the user interface."
"The depth the the user GUI could be improved. It is a bit deep for new users. During the first two weeks we spent a lot of time finding the tabs."
"We would like to have autotracking and auto error tracking for regression testing. We would like to know what error happened, when it happened, and during what scenario (such as setup), because right now we have to manually look at when it happened."
