Is Rigol DS1054Z still a good option in 2019?

But the DS1054Z is very old and does have several drawbacks. For a little bit more you can buy a much better oscilloscope nowadays. Technology has moved on.

Bravo. Rigol has clearly moved on from the 1054Z to the MSO5000. Siglent is activly developing the 1104x_E and supporting it with regular firmware updates. Sorry, as I bought the Siglent, I have not kept up on the GWS.

So? Maybe the OP would like a nice multimeter with his oscilloscope, or a decent soldering iron.

So, yes. His choice.

We got three new young colleagues in the developement this year- And now we got three new DS1054Z... ;)
It was the first they´ve ordered.
Sure, technology have moved on, but at this price…
We also got a SDS1104X-E in the laboratory too, cost a little bit more but in my opinion, it´s also a little bit more "better", especially what FFT concerns or the really useful ( shame on rigol) enhanced resolution function.
So I want to sign this too:

It's that simple!

If I got a DS1054Z on my desk at a new job I'd quit the next day. If a company can't afford proper tools for me to maximize my productivity then I will seriously question if I ever get a raise. The best paying companies I have worked for had good (top notch) equipment.

Fault. ;)
They request it by themself, we got lecroy stuff at all.
