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."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."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"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."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"The technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support. They sent an engineer to us who gave us some training and tutorials."
"We rely on the data and we make our design calls, risk-assessment, all based on the measurements that we take with the Keysight equipment."
"It makes programming simpler."
"The learning curve was really fast, which was also the reason for saving a lot on the budget."
"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."
"The integrated lateral view makes it easier to develop your test systems and test software flow."
"We haven't need technical support yet because all documentation is well done and there."
"It helps us to save on our investment with a lot of the stuff that we buy, as we can find defects quickly."
"The user interface is very good, easy to understand, and easy to operate."
"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."
"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."
"Every component has a manufacturing tolerance. I hope Keysight software can help with the tolerance loss in manufacturing variance, which can be ten percent or five percent. In the real world, we cannot fire a really perfect test with very smooth impedance. I would like to see Keysight provide a solution to solve the issue of loss of manufacturing variance."
"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."
"The integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"I would like more customized functions, so we can do the programming and definitions ourselves. There is an automation flow to capture this signal, and we would like to do this ourselves."
"I would like more speed and a reduction in size."
"I would like to see them increase the productivity and auxiliary functions."
"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."
"There is a learning curve. It takes one to two months to get acclimated to the tool."
"There is a learning curve. It might take a year if you're not well-versed with it."
"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."
"The software has room for improvement."
"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."
