Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance.""Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data.""The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations.""The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use.""It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market.""Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products.""While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick.""The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."

"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.""It has a good user interface. It's easy to use, easy to read. It's intuitive.""I haven't seen anything similar where it has a spectrum analyzer and regular scope together.""The most valuable features are its ease of use, user interface, and PAM-4. The user interface is good and easy to use.""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.""The user interface is good.""Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices.""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."

Cons
"While the user interface is good with respect to instrumentation, but with respect to documentation, I do not like it. Its documentation is slightly bad. It was not organized properly. The way it's organized is very difficult to understand, so it takes lot of time to search for one thing in particular.""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.""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 more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements.""If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better.""I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding.""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."

"There is room for improvement when it comes to the screen size. I don't really have a lot of complaints but screen size would be the biggest thing.""There was a learning curve, which was a little tricky at times. Getting used to the GUI took time because we had to learn the different features.""There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support.""We would like more features for the CAN bus decoding, such as importing DDC files, which allows us to take the raw data and convert it into engineering units.""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 more integration into machine learning because that's what we try to apply it to.""I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes.""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."

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."
