I think of a few areas when looking at Microsoft Build of OpenJDK. The first is what is your cost to run for your intended product or project, if you are strapped and fall within the supported areas of Microsoft Build of OpenJDK then it's a no brainer, Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is for you! Lastly, I think of support in the respect to running into a wall and needing a fix. It can take a while for open source tools to produce fixes that the community warrants, so again if you aren't strapped for time and haven't run into a wall and could afford to wait for fixes or relevant patches then again Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is for you. Not everyone has this luxury, but these are a few areas to think about.

SapMachine is best to use when you want to develop an enterprise-level app using JAVA language, the reason why to use SAPMachine is long-term support from SAP, so the JDK is going to be maintained by SAP, a wide range of installers available to install almost all the system like Windows, Mac, Linux are supported

Cons
Microsoft
  • Since it's open source, enterprise support is less than as if you are running paid like an Oracle JDK.
  • Performance is improving and is I would say on par with paid solutions, this could improve to help with growth.
  • Stability will happen over time with more contributions and fixes

Microsoft Build of OpenJDK stacks up against Oracle JDK (paid) very well. From both a performance, implementation, library support, and collaboration aspect.
