User Testimonials
	Azul Platform Prime	IBM Cloud Private
Likelihood to Recommend	Azul Systems, Inc 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. Incentivized Kailas Andhale Software Engineer Read full review	IBM IBM Cloud Private is an ideal platform for companies to accelerate their business growth. It helps in reducing the cost of IT and operations while delivering a great customer experience. With IBM Cloud Private, you can gain agility and security with a flexible hybrid model that fits your needs. It's highly recommended to my colleagues from me.

Alternatives Considered	Azul Systems, Inc Oracle was costlier whereas OpenJDK had less frequent updates. Azul was average of both of them, so it was choosen. Incentivized Kailas Andhale Software Engineer Read full review	IBM With VMware cloud, each VMware Cloud customer must have an SDDC account(VMC) as well as a general AWS account. The two accounts must be linked for the service to work which is a tiresome thing to do for some clients but with IBM Cloud Private all these issues are solved.
