Java is being used in my company as the base of all our IT operations. Given its ubiquity, we are easily able to find both developers and active development libraries that support our core business. Java has been a key business enabler for us.
  • Java is cross-platform. We are able to run our applications in a variety of infrastructures with allows us to select the best one for its particular use-case
  • Java has amassed an extensive set of libraries, both first and third party which acts as a force multiplier for our teams.
  • Java is well known and gives us a large pool from which to draw technical resources
  • The new pricing structure of Java has left many concerns in the community as to the proper upgrade path
  • The new release schedule has put us In a rough spot as our applications are failing behind Java versions quickly
  • Java has a reputation for insecurities, which can lead to hard conversations about its security
Java is well suited for any backend service application such as microservices. It is also well suited to any company looking to have a strong technical base to build off of with numerous tools already built for it.

One area where other tools may be more efficient is in web front end hosting. There are languages and platforms built specifically for this domain and may result in an easier setup than Java.

  • It is very stable.
  • I have not found any con of Java SE.
I would say that Java SE is recommended for mobile development, in Android operating system. It is also used for the creation of secure ISO messages that are used in client server communications in many different applications used across departments in various organizations in different fields. It is so very stable.

  • Backward compatibility of newer versions is a bottleneck
  • Also tight coupling versions with soft party tools; if there is a way to mitigate this problem upgrades will be effortless
For small companies it’s easier to maintain and acquire licenses, but it will be a hassle for large companies—especially the cost related to upgrades and end of service life apps.

  • Slow evolution
  • Some concepts are not straight forward
Any enterprise application would benefit from Java as a reliable platform.

Java SE was the de facto language at my previous company and was used across the whole organization. It was used to create software
for all business areas from marketing to CRM.
  • Java SE has a very strong community behind it so whenever you face a problem an instant search on the internet and you will find hundreds of solutions, code examples and recommendations easily.
  • Java SE has tons of open source frameworks built around it, so for any business or technical problem, you can find many frameworks like spring, hibernate, JUnit etc ...
  • Java itself is a great object-oriented programming language constantly evolving. It's very stable and constantly receiving bug fixes.
  • New features to the language are added all the time like lambda expressions, streams, and pipelines, new API's etc ...
  • More functional programming paradigms can be incorporated into Java SE.
  • Java could use some more performance increases.
For all kinds of web-based business applications, I'd recommend the use of Java SE as the programming language. A very stable language with great readability and community support.

Oracle Java SE Review: "Java for everything."

Java for everything you need. Our developers and me personally love Java as a strong language with all the possibilities you can expect to develop any type of system. We use java in the development department, in the testing department and it is the basis of 80% of the projects we carry out.
  • Small, medium and large applications. Key projects for any client.
  • Working with Frameworks like Spring, Struts, etc.
  • Android applications, systems that use special hardware, Arduino, etc.
  • Maybe Java could think of a way to simplify the code for beginners.
  • Less lawsuits, come on Oracle. Java was born to be free for everybody!
In terms of information technology, Oracle Java SE is well suited for everything or almost everything. There are clients with architectures based on another language like C #. In these cases or by the customer's own needs another language could be used.

User Review: "Oracle Java SE in the Finance Industry"

Verified User
Score 10 out of 10

OJSE is used in my team to implement low-latency microservices for a trading platform. Wide industry adoption and ease of deployment across heterogeneous hardware setups make it a language of choice for us. Other teams in the department also use OJSE as their language of choice when approaching other unique business problems.
  • Since Java runs on a virtual machine, it's generally considered to be agnostic of the hardware it's running on. It allows for deployment across a mix of hardware setups with the same binary.
  • Lots of literature, third party libraries, support forums, and books have been devoted to Java in general, making it a great language to use to support the business.
  • Backwards compatibility has been an important strength of Java for us. Legacy code that isn't ready to be retired yet can still run on our newer setups despite using older versions of OJSE.
  • The standard JVM generally requires a warming up period, and if you aren't cognizant of that, may get subpar performance on critical paths because they haven't been executed sufficiently yet.
  • Java's virtual machine abstracts away underlying hardware details, and that prevents developers from directly optimizing a solution for the hardware it'll be running on.
Great for solutions where you are unsure of the underlying hardware or may use different setups for the same binary. Not so great if you require fine control over memory management and data structure organization since that can't be controlled as easily by the developer. Lots of third party libraries available that can be leveraged to help bring your application to market faster.

Oracle Java SE Review: "Java, Compile Once, Run Forever"

Java SE is used by the organization I work at, as the preferred language of development of all of our products. We currently use Java SE 1.7, and are in the process of upgrading to latest version 1.8. It's used throughout the company, in all departments.
  • It's extremely fast. Programs execute with lightning speed.
  • It's platform independent. A piece of code written on windows can be executed on UNIX systems without any extra effort.
  • It's simple and stable.
  • It has powerful IDEs like Eclipse and NetBeans.
  • It has a huge active community, which helps in coding and support.
  • There are a lot of code libraries available, with comprehensive documentation.
  • It's strict on syntax. Programmers switching from some other coding language, need guidance and time to get used to Java.
  • There're bugs in some Java default libraries, like Swing.
  • Lack of garbage collection on resources other than memory
Java SE is well suited, for a company of any size, and supports software / application of any size.
