Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data.""The user interface has never been better. They improved it a few years ago with a more modern oscilloscope interface and it's easier to use, even for more junior people in our lab.""It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market.""The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it.""The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use.""The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements.""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."

"I haven't seen anything similar where it has a spectrum analyzer and regular scope together.""Valuable features include that it's multi-channel... and has bandwidth filtering. The user interface is good.""B-scan is its most valuable feature.""It has digital scopes with a high bandwidth and digitized signal. It can do whatever you want with the signal. Since its user-friendly software allows you to work with the signal, which is pretty cool.""The Ipath and measurements are fantastic and simple to implement.""It has a good user interface. It's easy to use, easy to read. It's intuitive.""We have multiple systems for manufacturing tests, and it's critical for our support. The support increases our productivity.""The Tektronix user interface is like an Apple iPhone, but for oscilloscopes. It is simple to use."

Cons
"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.""They can improve, but I don't know how.""We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation.""Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier.""There is room for improvement with some of the features of the scope. I would like them to make it a bit more simplistic... For example, if I want to look at what the total jitter is, they should make it simpler to find that, with different tabs.""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.""I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding.""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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes Cons →

"I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there.""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.""We are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset.""I am not utilizing the full bandwidth of this product.""I would like to see more integration into machine learning because that's what we try to apply it to.""I know you can get the Bit Masks but it's generally really expensive to get the eye diagrams and Bit Masks with it. I wish they were included or cheaper.""I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes.""I would like to see some WiFi capabilities. I would like to upgrade equipment, and if I was in the U.S., I could do that with WiFi capabilities."

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."
  • More Keysight Oscilloscopes Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
