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."Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"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."
"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's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability... The good thing about the GUI interface which is, of course, software-based, is that you can record and save your test setup."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"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."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"The noise floor for reference clocks is pretty low, so this instrument is able to measure it where others cannot."
"The noise sensitivity: It has a low noise floor."
"The user interface is pretty good. Right now, it is more than what we expected. It's easy and fast to use."
"The instrument has a wide bandwidth. You can sweep across a wide range of frequencies."
"The characterization of RF channels was helpful... The user interface was very simple to operate and there were a lot of tutorials."
"Most of the features offered are free, like serial data analyzers or jitter measurements."
"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 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 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."
"Sometimes, it's quite hard to get the technical support to come onsite. If we run into a hardware, measurement, or software issue, we may have to wait a long time for them to come."
"Their GUI is not the best. They need to improve on that. I think their software team needs to put in a little bit more work on how they are presenting the application on the scope."
"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 can improve, but I don't know how."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"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."
"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 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."
"They could use an RDA interface."
"Sometimes, it's difficult to find menus on the user interface."
"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."
"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."
