Review of Oracle Java SE Subscription
We have a large product with close to 100 applications that are running on Java (JEE). We are using Java SE Subscription to get our questions and queries answered about a feature or a flag. And to get support with regards to various dumps or crashes that we see. It is good to have access to a ready knowledge base and get quick feedback on problems we are seeing.
- Access to knowledge base
- Quick response to critical issues
- Help in troubleshooting difficult issues
- Sometimes required data is not available (for example dump is not available due to lack of disk space) and difficult to obtain after the issue has occurred. This makes it difficult to find out the root cause of issues.

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.
