Likelihood to Recommend The Oracle Java SE Subscription is a useful service that can support larger organizations that need to implement quick feature development and need to do so with maximum support with minimal fuss. Performance can vary due to the nature of Javas JVM having to boot upon every start and there can be some compatibility issues with a few third-party systems. Smaller organizations would be better off utilizing Java SDK or
OpenJDK as these are free but don't have the benefit of direct support from Oracle. If a larger organization has a long history of using Java and has legacy systems running on older versions of Java, then the extra support needed will more than justify the cost If you are heavily invested in Java and need to support applications running on older versions such as Java 8, or you want to use OracleJDK, then you would want to consider getting the subscription for its support and patches.

Aside from that, zeplin solves my problem for hand-off design from design to developer. I set zeplin is source of truth design file
Read full review Pros Collect in an inventory all versions of Java that have been used in different applications. Determine the status of old versions of Java and update or apply essential security patches. Oracle Support is the best to be able to solve problems in an agile and safe way. Fast update cycles to make new features available. Read full review Ease in automatically building design style guides, saving time that might be spent on building style guides in another tool (such as InDesign). Users can use Mac, PC, or web versions of this app to collaborate on a single project, enabling us to work with a wider pool of contractors. Accelerates the design-to-development workflow, as it’s very easy to import Sketch or Photoshop files through plug-ins, and HTML/CSS codes are automatically created based on designs. Provides cross-platform specifications for web, iOS, and Android, which can save developers time in figuring out specifications beyond the “main platform" on their own. Read full review Cons AMC Usage details hard to Decipher and Categorize AMC JRE Upgrades have very limited Scheduling of Deployments, should be more like SCCM. Where you know exactly when deployments are going out. Not just when the Agent decides to check in. Cost is WAY too high Read full review The uploading and syncing of assets is great for sketch and photoshop but we use illustrator and that can be cumbersome/tedious at times. There are certain elements that have been a bit confusing to navigate at times, but for the most part, it's pretty user-friendly More integrations Read full review Likelihood to Renew It provides an affordable way to protect your investment.

Read full review Usability Zeplin is not a fully functional prototyping software system, but having the ability to add notes to help explain what actions are expected allows me to rate it high.
Read full review Support Rating As I mentioned before, quality of support from Oracle Java SE Subscription is extraordinary. The speed of resolution and the expertise of the staff is really appreciated. We raised a high priority support incident which blocked our process [and] Oracle Java SE support did a quick analysis and provided a solution which took less time than we expected. They also help us in installing patches and updates whenever required.
Read full review Zeplin has classic support with a chat from the website. It's working fine, and we're also getting the support needed when needed. However, Zeplin is very good at closing the incidents and moving on. It was a while ago we had a case with their support so that it might have improved since then.
Read full review Alternatives Considered It is more suitable and effective to opt for Oracle Java SE Subscription to receive enhanced support for your Java SE Applications. The support team is highly qualified and technically sound to manage your Java SE Applications properly. Also they are available 24*7 to make sure applications are up-to-date.
Read full review Zeplin is great to inspect and share user interfaces, specifications and assets, perfect for developers. Tools like
InVision and Marvel are much better to create prototypes for both developers, coworkers and even stakeholders, but they don't have this kind of feature (inspection) as Zeplin does. So each of them can be used for different purposes, offering different approaches to share and interact with layouts for apps and websites.

It only makes sense to invest in a secure development environment Developers appreciate rich community support for java se platform Read full review Development time has reduced as the design updates are communicated in real time to developers and they don't have to write the boilerplate code as it's already generated. Employee engagement has improved as every stakeholder is aware about the design changes from the beginning and can give their inputs. Designers save a lot of time as they don't to explicitly communicate when the update or publish their designs and also it just takes a couple of clicks to publish their designs. Also, lot of rework is saved as every stakeholder is involved right from the beginning. Read full review ScreenShots
