Managing Java SE the easy way
As an educational institution, we have thousands of machines that need to be loaded with a variety of different software and systems for our students to be able to achieve the goals set by the university. I am based in a School of Computing and we utilize Java as one of our core programming languages, as such we needed to find a cost-effective way of licensing Java across all of these machines. This is why we chose to use the Java SE subscription as it simplifies the distribution of licenses, is cheaper, and covers cloud functionality which has been significantly useful with the transition to more cloud-based services.
- Cost effective options for smaller organizations.
- Great automated security and patching options.
- Cross-platform support (Desktop, Cloud etc.).
- Some interesting ML options.
- Easy to use developer environment.
- User based subscription could be replaced with an enterprise level option.
- Core features not always updated as quickly as the free alternative Java SDK.
- No backup facility.
Not yet, but I'm interested in Oracle user groups
I am not currently a member of any of these groups however, I would be interested in joining in on these groups as a means to learn more about these groups and the services/software they offer.

Since Oracle Java SE Subscription is [a] purely Object Oriented programming language, all the features /concepts can be easily implemented.
- Since, JOracle Java SE Subscription is [a] purely Object Oriented programming language, all the concepts /features (like inheritance, abstraction) can be implemented as per real-world scenarios. Also, the code reusability is very helpful. In Oracle Java SE Subscription, both data and behavior [are] taken care [of].
- Java Byte code. Since bytecode is a highly optimized set of instructions that [are] executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Bytecode helps in achieving both portability and security.
- Multithreading. In Oracle Java SE Subscription, we can write Multithreaded programs for running /executing multiple tasks at [the] same time and memory need not be allocated to every running thread.
- Oracle Java SE Subscription has automatic memory management or garbage collection, which is an application /concept that automatically handles [the] allocation and deallocation of memory.
- Performance. Though Oracle Java SE Subscription, code can be executed on every operating system, it also makes the performance bit slower than the other programming languages like C and C++.
- Cost. Java programming language is a bit costly due to its higher processing and memory requirements and higher hardware configuration is required.
- No backup facility. Oracle Java SE Subscription works on storage and not focuses on data backup.
- Java UI applications [are] not attractive. Though there are many GUI builders in Oracle Java SE Subscription still they are not suitable for creating complicated UI and there are many inconsistencies.
Not yet, but I'm interested in Oracle user groups
Interested in joining the Oracle / Java /MySQL members community group, so that I can gain more knowledge by interacting with other members and also will be easy to implement new ideas /thoughts when I am working on the projects in my professional career. Also interested in joining some of [the] other groups related to trending technologies like AI, Big Data, Data Cloud to enhance my knowledge on these topics as well.
We have used Oracle Java SE Subscription to provide assurance for our critical Java SE-based applications.

Complete cross-platform product
We use Oracle Java SE Subscription for various purposes including development API Rest Service with Restlet framework, front-end applications with Spring and Spring Boot framework, back-end applications, writing automation test-cases on Selenium, and creating some convenient tools with Java.

- Strong object-orientation language and clear project structure.
- It offers a huge library and framework support from third parties and the community.

Great software with minor tweaks required
Oracle Java SE has been used in our organization for quite a long time. It is a great software and eases our app building scenario; our users are used to this software and prefer this over other competitors because of its top-of-the-line development environment. It is being used in our organization department for both development and deployment. Overall a very good software and easy to understand.
- Used for development by our employees because of easy-to-understand UI
- Deployment is also done using Oracle Java SE
- Easy-to-understand user interface that is very familiar to our developers, which makes it a fun software to play with
- Java implies that one needs to use many words, as it's quite similar but the code is drastically huge
- It is lagging behind and we had to find a tool to create our own graphical user interface
- When the garbage collector works it makes the apps really slow, which makes it difficult to use
