Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use.""The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it.""It can go up to a very high frequency, up to 120 gigahertz. And the user interface is really good. It's really easy to navigate.""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.""Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data.""It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient.""The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."

"It has very fast response with deep memory.""Tektronix is robust and reliable. It's a hammer-resistant machine, a fact which is most important on our manufacturing floor.""It is easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it.""I haven't seen anything similar where it has a spectrum analyzer and regular scope together.""The Ipath and measurements are fantastic and simple to implement.""The Tektronix user interface is like an Apple iPhone, but for oscilloscopes. It is simple to use.""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.""The user interface is good, not very complicated. It is very intuitive."

Cons
"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.""The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten.""There is room for improvement in the upgradeability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive. If they could provide a more modular type of design, so if we want to upgrade one functionality then we could upgrade that module, rather than all the equipment, that would be helpful. That modularity is something we would like to see.""If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better.""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.""They can improve, but I don't know how.""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."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes Cons →

"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes.""They need to add more memory to this machine.""It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need.""There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support.""I would like if they could have more customer support engagement.""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.""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.""If they could make the user interface even more intuitive that would help. If they could make it easier to read, to know where the buttons are, that's all I need."

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."
