We performed a comparison between Keysight Oscilloscopes and Rohde & Schwarz Oscilloscopes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Siglent, Tektronix, Keysight Technologies and others in Oscilloscopes."It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."
"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."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"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."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"The noise sensitivity: It has a low noise floor."
"The instrument has a wide bandwidth. You can sweep across a wide range of frequencies."
"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 is a more efficient, easier way to do measurements."
"The user interface is pretty good. Right now, it is more than what we expected. It's easy and fast to use."
"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."
"I would like them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe, built into the array. PERT to be built-in for more specific product call. These would make our lives much easier."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"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 user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"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 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."
"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."
"Sometimes, it's difficult to find menus on the user interface."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
