We like the Rigols.I recently acquired a Siglenthttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XZML6RD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1and gave it to one of my engineers. I'll ask him how he likes it.It has an up-front DEFAULT button, which a digital scope needs to getyou out of nightmare states.

It sounds pretty good to me.

What's missing?
 
I like the 500 uV/div.

If you want to save the last penny, maybe. But you can get way better scope
for slightly more -- Rigol DHO800/DHO900. It is 12-bit, same 550uV/div, has
all standard serial protocols decoding, very light and compact, can work
from a battery with USB-C power connector, way better than that Siglent that
feels like relic next to those DHOs.

 
We use almost all Rigols at work. My slow bench scope is a 500 MHz
DS4034 (upgraded from 350 MHz)

and my fast scope is a Tek 11802 sampler.

I also have one, 11801C. Couple of SD-24s, SD-20, and SD-22 heads :)

I don't have any relation to Rigol, just have DHO924S as a go-to scope on my
bench and DHO814 for use as an advanced multimeter wherever I need a
portable one. I like them and I can run them in a web browser if needed.

 
I bought the Siglent as a gift, and I was curious about it.

I do have an advanced LeCroy WR640Zi with all options for serious jobs -- it
is 40GS/s 4GHz bandwidth instrument with all features imaginable -- but I
rarely power it up. It makes a noise like a jet at takeoff (Rigol DHO is
very quite) and it is 8-bit so what you get on the screen looks ugly
comparing with 12-bit DHO. DHO924 covers 99% of real world debugging so
LeCroy is mostly gathering dust...

 
So is ours! It cost $50K.  It doesn't make much sense and there is
basically no support. It doesn't make sense to them either.

Yep, all those features are nice but very rarely needed in the real life.
