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.

It's best when you want to use JDK version 11 that currently I'm using and it's one of the best out there in market. Currently we I'm using Red Hat build of OpenJDK for my company project and in which we work on Java 11, so to integrate Java 11 i need to have JDK 11 so I choose to go with the Red Hat build of OpenJDK as it's provide Conveniently integration with the project.

Support Rating
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.

  • Nothing as of now. (It's freely available to download from Redhat)
  • It's free of cost so it might be 100% effective on Cost.
  • One can download it from the Red hat community.
