Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I have been able to do quality measurements that I have been unable to achieve with the equipment from some other vendors.""It is a more efficient, easier way to do measurements.""The noise sensitivity: It has a low noise floor.""Most of the features offered are free, like serial data analyzers or jitter measurements.""The most valuable features are its wide bandwidth and 8 ports.""The product is quite reliable and straightforward to use. Typically, there are no households that we have to set up.""It is easy to connect with, accurate, reliable, and hardly fails.""The ability to have both the time domain and frequency domain, where the frequency domain is a very broad spectral plot, is extremely valuable."

Cons
"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.""Sometimes, it's difficult to find menus on the user interface.""They could use an RDA interface.""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 size of the unit is too big, too heavy. It has to be made more portable and smaller.""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.""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."

"The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes.""The customer relationship should be more advanced/developed. Documents on the website should be more accessible and easily understandable."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is very competitive."
  • "The pricing is way too expensive."
  • "The pricing is too high."
  • "One of the things I liked less, not only me but also my company, was that Rohde & Schwarz are very expensive... There are solutions that are almost the same that sell at better prices."
  • "The pricing is very expensive."
  • "If we are looking to purchase a product, we ask for a loaner for a month or so to test it out. Then, we will make a decision."
  • "The pricing is expensive, but very fair when you look at the technology that you are getting. These are higher-end pieces which have a ton of engineering in them that is not evident on the package. However, you could imagine the amount of time that the vendor has spent on the firmware, optimizing the internal layout, developing custom ICs, etc. They're releasing a mass produced product, but these things are built to last."
  • "Buying Rohde & Schwarz gear is like buying a Mercedes. It raises eyebrows when you're asking for that level of performance."
