We performed a comparison between National Instruments (NI) 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 helps us to save on our investment with a lot of the stuff that we buy, as we can find defects quickly."
"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 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 integrated lateral view makes it easier to develop your test systems and test software flow."
"The learning curve was really fast, which was also the reason for saving a lot on the budget."
"It makes programming simpler."
"Because their view is a graphical user interface (GUI), it's very easy to program the tool."
"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."
"Most of the features offered are free, like serial data analyzers or jitter measurements."
"The instrument has a wide bandwidth. You can sweep across a wide range of frequencies."
"It is a more efficient, easier way to do measurements."
"It has a very low noise floor."
"I have been able to do quality measurements that I have been unable to achieve with the equipment from some other vendors."
"The noise floor for reference clocks is pretty low, so this instrument is able to measure it where others cannot."
"The characterization of RF channels was helpful... The user interface was very simple to operate and there were a lot of tutorials."
"The noise sensitivity: It has a low noise floor."
"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 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 more speed and a reduction in size."
"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."
"There is a learning curve. It takes one to two months to get acclimated to the tool."
"The software has room for improvement."
"I would like to have more RF. They're going that way, but still there is some work that they have to do."
"They could use an RDA 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."
"The user interface could be improved, e.g., the documentation on the menus. I have to open a separate document to figure out the functionality sometimes."
"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."
"There was a learning curve. Their use interface and the way that their products work are not intuitive to somebody who switches from other vendors."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, it's difficult to find menus on the user interface."
