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.

Oracle Java SE Subscription was the obvious choice for us
Oracle Java SE Subscription is being used in our development and quality assurance department, where we build business management software and their automation applications with Oracle and Java QA tools. The choice of Oracle Java SE Subscription was obvious, as it is operating-system independent and as we have to deal with Oracle-based tools on machines with Windows, iOS, and Android for application development. We use Oracle Java SE Subscription for applying automated machine-oriented Java updates, security patches against trending vulnerabilities, and system-based subscription to meet our organizational needs.
- Availability for all OS
- Automatic selection of required Oracle subscriptions as per machine needs

Credible and low cost system maintenance
We don't have Oracle Java SE Subscription installed on all the systems of the organization but few departments like IT support and software research and development sections have covered partially with it. The benefits we have got since the inception of Java SE Subscription are of great worth and we are planning to cover more machines with it in coming days. We are using Java SE Subscription for maintenance of all systems for Oracle products version controls, applying patches and security updates in accordance with departmental and user's job requirements.
- Make job easier for IT technicians and remote support assistants.
- Easy installation and integration process for security patch and update.
- Frequent updates with technology needs.

Oracle Java SE Subscription-Great for Enterprise applications
Java is used as a primary programming language on the mid-range infrastructure in our company to develop business critical applications in the Claims, Enrollment, Member and Customer services domain. It is also the main implementation vehicle to implement micro-services architecture. Oracle Java SE Subscription is used to cost effectively manage Java SE installations, updates, and upgrades across the enterprise.
- Performance, stability, and security updates helps to deliver high quality solutions
- Around-the-clock support for fast fixes and mission-critical applications helps to get product roll out on time
- Access to Oracle Java SE 8 and 7 commercial features enables to develops complex solutions with less effort
- Integration challenges with other COTS tools
- Compilation may be slow as compared to other languages
- Still lacks the features like Python or R have for data analysis

Acceptable for legacy solutions, but not for new work
We started with Oracle Java SE Subscription at the beginning of a project a little while back. It helped build a micro-service architecture that was being used by a growing company needing to update its platform. It has also been used in a few smaller projects. It allows us to build software using a technology base with a proven track record and large support base to keep the long term/big picture in mind.
- Standardized
- Lots of extensions
- Central customer support
- Price
- Complexity
- Code structure

JAVA SE Subscription Review
We use Oracle Java SE Subscription for multiple projects that are based on maven. It is being used by the different departments in my organization. We build many micro services using JAVA SE and Angular, along with that we are currently working in the field of Reinforcement Learning. We are building a neural network error backpropagation algorithm for a robot tank that can compete in the robocode wars. Apart from that we are also working on the several web projects based on the Enterprise java.
- It is very optimized and easy to port the code.
- Sometimes We need more memory to execute the code and we can explicitly allow memory to the Java.
- Frequent Updates are provided to the Java SE module.
- Building a project takes a few minutes sometimes. May be we can improve the building time of projects.

Oracle Java SE Subscription Review
This has been used widely in our team when we needed to develop Java. Our legacy system has been built upon Java for a while and as a matter of fact, we expanded and continued our relationship throughout the years.
- Great support
- Can be used across all platforms and devices
- The cost increases when we deploy more powerful machines

Java SE Subscription: A designer's weapon of choice
Java SE is used to automate manual processes and data processing logic for clients. There are also core business applications built on Java that are used by large FSI clients: trading platform, credit scoring, loan servicing system, regulatory and operational reporting. Some of the clients also have legacy applications built using Java that require maintenance and upgrade.
- Java is ubiquitous in the programming world. With such a widespread network of developers and support content, it is an obvious choice for core product development. OOPS in Java is in particular robust, simple, and powerful from architect/designers standpoint. The end application performance is much better compared to other OOPS programming platforms in terms of speed, reliability.
- Java is bundled with so many other off-the-shelf applications that are obviously built on Java. That makes it convenient choice to design customization logic and integration layer using Java.
- Packaging and security has improved with Oracle Java SE
- Java needs to catch up on the machine learning front, it is obviously not the platform of choice for the cutting edge data science apps. The way forward for two decades of Java existence depends on how it is able to keep up with the evolving landscape of application development.
- Java is more preferred for back end processing, but not a top choice for desktop UI. The UI framework is cumbersome and intricate compared to other options available in the market.
- Java provides full-scale power of programming but there is no out of the box, business-friendly, workflow design layer in the package. There are other vendors that have developed workflow using Java, but then the ability to harness the power of java is constrained by their design choices. Clients perceive the vendor apps easier to maintain even though the cost of license and customization can hit the roof.

Awesome for the service industry
Java is used to run various applications, both online and offline. It addresses the need for serving business logic in a maintainable and scalable manner. The software is used within my organization to implement low-latency microservices. Wide industry adoption and ease of deployment make it a language of choice for adoption within the industry. Many teams and other organizations also use OJSE as their language of choice when faced with other unique business problems.
- Easy to learn and fast to adopt.
- Adaptability and portability across to newer Java versions.
- Its open source so it's fully customizable.
- Most importantly there are lots of literature, third party libraries, support forums, and books available for ease of learning.
- Lack of exploratory data analysis like in R or Python.
- Java is good, but sometimes, obtaining help from customer service is lacking.
- Not a good language for lower level programming.
