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."It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support. They sent an engineer to us who gave us some training and tutorials."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."
"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."
"The most valuable features are its wide bandwidth and 8 ports."
"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."
"The noise floor for reference clocks is pretty low, so this instrument is able to measure it where others cannot."
"The most valuable features are the accuracy and repeatability."
"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 is easy to connect with, accurate, reliable, and hardly fails."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"The technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If it is something wrong with the scope, they are okay. However, if something technical goes wrong, like the calibration, it is hard to get the information that we need because it is hard to share everything and explain all the measurements in real-time."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"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."
"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."
"They could use an RDA interface."
"Sometimes, it's difficult to find menus on the user interface."
"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."
"The size of the unit is too big, too heavy. It has to be made more portable and smaller."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
