Likelihood to Recommend	Open Source Actually, from a software engineer's point of view, JDK is nothing fancy to think of / talk about. It's just there & it works. Until he/she has to set up a project from scratch, together with the build tool, a JDK has to be chosen. Also, when doing deployment work, having a reliable, readily available JDK to install to target systems is a blessing. Still, Oracle could have done a better job supporting OpenJDK, especially for commercial usage. Incentivized Tung Vu Senior Software Engineer Read full review	Lightbend, Inc No answers on this topic

Cons	Open Source JVM performance can be improved Concurrent task running needs to be improved . Ability to access stack memory outside or JVM processes Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Lightbend, Inc No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Open Source OpenJDK is comparable to Oracle Java SE in most cases and you get away with significantly lower costs. Oracle Java SE have some advantages in performance on some native platforms but in most cases the OpenJDK performance is similar or at least good enough.
