Oracle Java SE Subscription basically concatenates the license and support into a monthly subscription service that now includes Oracle GraalVM and Java Management Service that making the monitoring and deployment quite manageable. It is quite easy to use and is suitable for organizations that require high stability to design and program web applications at a very low monthly subscription cost.

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.

Oracle Java SE Subscription is great for any application that needs rapid feature development, but you also need to tune the application for performance requirements. Oracle Java SE is also widely supported by many third-party APIs. Oracle Java SE, particularly the JVM, is not great for serverless development, e.g., AWS Lambda. [With] slow startup times, we lead to startup lag as the JVM has to start up on every cold start. Oracle Java SE is also limited in any development that needs specific memory management.

This really depends on how invested you are with Oracle and Java. For startups, it might be difficult to justify the cost, so alternatives such as OpenJDK would be better. 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.

For organizations that have complex applications that require high maintenance and monitoring, Oracle Java SE subscription is best suited. For the software department, the subscription is best to manage and monitor the applications since it is a Java service that is a strong programming language. Also, the support provided by the team is great and the support staff is quite knowledgeable and they are able to resolve the issues within hours only.

Oracle Java SE Subscription is well-suited for enterprise applications that require high levels of scalability, maintainability and the ability to follow validated design patterns. It provides best-in-industry support for cross-platform development, feature-richness and compatibility between different plugins and application interfaces. Oracle Java SE Subscription tends to be overkill for smaller-scale applications, though.

Oracle Java SE Subscription will be highly beneficial to organizations that rely on critical infrastructure based on older versions of Java SE that are no longer publicly supported. While the pricing model is reasonable, it may not appeal to smaller organizations or scenarios where there is a smaller budget/scope surrounding this topic. There is also less of a benefit if newer versions of Java SE are being utilized or there are opportunities/plans to upgrade to publicly-supported versions.

Oracle Java SE can be used in most of the organization, but since 2019, Oracle has made it paid. Small organizations and startups may take a hit by this step. Java is also suitable for Android development and POS systems, which makes it really useful for most of the companies using this software today.

Oracle Java SE Subscription is recommended for large companies that have been developing with Java for many years and do not have exact knowledge of all the versions they have used during all that time, in addition to not knowing the current status of the updates of these versions of Java.
With Oracle Java SE Subscription they will be able to optimize the use of Java and have a specific overview of how fundamental Java is in their business processes.
