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.

It has security features that enhance security for any data that runs across all our working platform networks.
- Creation of powerful websites
- Provision of security to data
- I have not experienced any room for improvement.

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.

Great insurance to protect your Java investment
We use Oracle Java SE Subscription almost exclusively for all our backend services and developments.

This really helps us feel secure with our investment in Java technology.
- Great technical support, especially for the Long-Term-Supported (LTS) versions.
- Security patches and updates.
- Cost is still a bit high.

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

Oracle Java SE Subscription - Always with you
Over the years, many solutions programmed in Java have been implemented for its robustness, stability and portability that it offers, but as time passes and new versions are presented and used with new functionalities and improvements, it is necessary to have control over how they are. The Java versions are distributed in the different solutions that are available and that is where Oracle Java SE Subscription comes into action, providing great help in the maintenance of all versions, as well as the state in which they are, providing updates for the old versions, etc.
- 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.
- For older versions of Java it could provide instructions or support to migrate to the version supported by the application that is more recent.
- The definition of rules by browser between versions of Java used could be suggested among the most common or that increase security.
- For the developer environment, it would be very useful to have available a list of the functions or procedures that have been outdated or replaced by version.
