Azul Platform Prime vs. DevExpress Universal

If you want some low cost JDK provider where you need the frequent updates as well, you can go ahead for Azul Zing instead of OpenJDK. But if budget is not a concern, I would recommend going for some well known company such as Oracle. Also if you are using Azul for production, make sure to use it for Dev ENV too so as to reproduce issues.

When you want to display spreadsheet based reports, it's really convenient as it has everything out of the box.

If you have very basic components like combo boxes or lists, there is hardly a point in using such a large component set.

In the end, it's a matter of finding a good balance between functionality and complexity.

Azul has better JVM garbage collection on machines with huge amounts of memory that the OSS version of Java doesn't handle

Prime support has been responsive in helping us tune our JVM parameters and diagnose any lingering Java resource issues.

Oracle was costlier whereas OpenJDK had less frequent updates. Azul was average of both of them, so it was choosen.

DevExpress Universal controls are much simpler to use, implement and customized as compared to Kendo. Learning curve for telerik is high, though level of customization that can be achieved with telerik exceeds that of DevExpress Universal. Found DevExpress Universal community support to be better then its competitors. License cost is also a wining bar here.

• Standard product usage since it is compatible across different Operating Systems.

• It is good for asp.net application and it takes less time in development which we used two years back.
