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's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"The customer support is very good. If you need an application to do any measurement, you can easily get a hold of people to help you with it. This is a whole ecosystem."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
"Most of the features offered are free, like serial data analyzers or jitter measurements."
"The characterization of RF channels was helpful... The user interface was very simple to operate and there were a lot of tutorials."
"The most valuable features are the accuracy and repeatability."
"The noise sensitivity: It has a low noise floor."
"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."
"It has a very low noise floor."
"The most valuable features are its wide bandwidth and 8 ports."
"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 can be buggy at times. But I'm an engineer, I figure out how to get around them pretty easily so that's not that much of a concern."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"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 technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If it is something wrong with the scope, they are okay. However, if something technical goes wrong, like the calibration, it is hard to get the information that we need because it is hard to share everything and explain all the measurements in real-time."
"Something I'd like to see is much better documentation and some good examples. That would be very helpful for a new user to get better at using the new test equipment."
"They could use an RDA interface."
"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."
"The size of the unit is too big, too heavy. It has to be made more portable and smaller."
"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."
"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."
"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."
