User Testimonials
	Akka	Azul Platform Core
Likelihood to Recommend	Lightbend, Inc No answers on this topic	Azul Systems, Inc I would go for Azul Platform Core where someone needs secure JRE and JDK at a cheaper price where they can afford some CPU memory spikes. If you are highly concerned about the high availability of systems, or CPU memory usage, then, in my opinion, Azul Platform Core should be avoided. Also, considering what I believe to be their poor support, you might want to reconsider buying this subscription. Incentivized Verified User Read full review

Support Rating	Lightbend, Inc No answers on this topic	Azul Systems, Inc We have had plenty of contact previously with the Azul Platform Core's support team. They provided us with ways of debugging our JVM crashes and upload data to a provided FTP server where their support employees could assist by reviewing our special cases. The help they provided has been invaluable in optimizing our JVM. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
