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.

My organisations uses Oracle Java Se subscription to manage Java SE installations across our enterprise because it provides cost effective administration of multiple enterprise subscription services on the Oracle technology platform by combining Oracle Java SE Subscription and Oracle Java SE Desktop Subscription licensing and support into a simple, single subscription.

A large portion of our codebase is written in Java. Java SE is used by our software team for a number of applications that support the R&D department as a whole. For the software department, the subscription fits the needs of our business operations especially well by providing Java Mission Control to monitor and manage our applications.

Oracle provides us with downloadable MSI's for their quarterly security updates, along with their Advance Management Console which we use to track Java Usage within the organization, and the managing the Deployment of Rulesets throughout the company.

There are still some improvements needed within the Management Console. It feels like its more of a beta product at this stage.

It is used by the entire Java-based web application development department in my organization. With the subscription model, the cost has increased a bit but is complemented by customer support which is mission-critical for providing support to our clients. Also, moving on to this subscription-based model allowed us to continue using older Java editions for existing apps and saved the hassle of transitioning them to newer versions.

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.

Most of our Java-based apps are written in OAF/ADF framework in Oracle E-Business Suite. EBS requires Java at the server tier as well as Java on the desktop client tier to run forms-based content.

Java SE Subscription gives you the tools to better understand system resource utilization and the effects of application runtime optimizations. Specifically, it also provides information about application performance, allows you to configure application settings, and performs runtime optimizations.

The Oracle Java SE Subscription is used heavily across our organization to support our Java client support needs. It provides timely updates and solves several issues, such as simplified billing and support for cloud deployments. Access to round the clock support is also very useful to international organizations since that allows for support relative to any office's time zone.

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.

We use it for software development and have developed several web-based apps using Oracle Java SE. I manage several teams for software development. Most of my applications are Java-based, so my team uses Oracle Java SE to do this. We use Java SE writing automation test-cases on Selenium. Oracle E-Business Suite has a dependency on Java for server-based and end-user client-based components. As our company has, Oracle E-Business Suite customers will continue to have access to Java SE. It is also used to develop components to support our HR Cloud applications.

Being that the majority of our apps are within Java, having steady access to support from Oracle, as well as any kind of critical bug fixes is a must. This is mainly used by both Opts for the cloud service and Development for the actual development portion of the application.

I've used the Oracle Java SE Subscription across multiple different teams at my company over the last several years, primarily through the Eclipse IDE and the Apache Tomcat server for API development. My company used to be behind on keeping up to date with the different versions of Java and we were still on Java 6 as recently as 2 years ago. Since then, we've kept up to date on the newer versions of the JDK and have been enjoying a lot of the niceties of the newer versions. The biggest issue with the Oracle version is just having to own a developer account to download anything, but that's relatively minor overall. It's nice to have a consistent library of any version of the JDK whenever we need it. I believe that the real advantage to the Oracle Java SE Subscription is that it is regularly kept up to date and it is easy to get notifications of the patch notes between versions and be alerted to any major security issues in older versions. This helps build a business case for why upgrades are worth maintaining in our development system.

Oracle Java SE is used across the organization. Predominantly it is used for implementing Java applications for customers belonging to various industries including Hospitality, Insurance, Healthcare, etc. Business problems vary according to customers' needs and demands and in my experience, Java is used for resolving diversified challenges such as online ordering and providing online portals for the end-users to service customers online.

Oracle Java SE subscription is being used by my organization to develop and host java-based applications that we need to deploy into the cloud. It is primarily used by engineering and for internal applications that are mission-critical and need solid reliability and uptime through the java virtual machine. Ultimately, I believe this enterprise solution is solving large problems for our software engineering staff.
