Oracle Java SE

JDK is still free for developers and students for practice

Corporate and business user has to pay for licence

Rapid development

JVM tuning yields lower hardware costs

It increases our productivity

We have not had any security breaches or issues of sorts

Some new features in post Java SE 11 versions have let us optimize code even more

Best practices and design pattern

Huge library support

Open source

Easy deployment across multiple servers

Easily maintainable code

Almost our entire client application is written in Java with over 1 million lines of code

The ability to run on multiple platforms using the same code with minimal branching is great

Java applications are being used by employees helping to do their tasks easily and faster reducing time and money.

Java has been the key to the technology applications of our company. Its stability and reliability enable us to build first-class applications that lead us to a fast ROI.

The completion times of our projects were very predictable.

Our risks were also minimized thanks to JAVA SE.

We didn't have technical difficulties with JAVA SE.

With good structure and strong object-orientation, applications written in Java are easy to manage and maintain for a new team member.

Its open-source framework and library allows us to develop applications.

We are able to deploy our code into different environments.

Reduced the time needed for troubleshooting and issue. n

We didn't need to spend more time and resources on developing apps for each OS. Our Java application worked perfectly on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Our customers aren't fully satisfied with the performance of our application, specifically load up times.

We didn't need to purchase training courses for our software developers. Each of them were already well-versed in using Java SE.

Code is more maintenable

Great infrastucture around it

Every project we did with Java, was predictable and provided no technical challenge in terms of the language itself. It's a very low-risk choice to use this platform.

As an educator, I'm not concerned with business objectives.

Easy developer onboarding: we could hire good developers at reasonable rates.

No need to train the team in a new language: pretty much everybody knows Java.

Vast open-source libraries: there's no need to pay expensive licenses in most cases.

Fantastic for low-cost innovation PoCs.

Better ROI

Powerful

The different versions make it harder to work with other companies where some use newer versions while some use older versions, costing time to make them compatible.

Licenses are getting to be costly, forcing us to consider OpenJDK as an alternative.

New features take time to learn. When someone starts using them, everyone has to take time to learn.

We have a very well rated programming course using Java.

The course has been stable for a long time, giving us chance to polish and fine-tune.

[We're struggling with] Lack of support. Support feels really distant and unreachable.

Some of our applications are having struggles with GC so they switched to other JVMs.

Saved a lot of engineering time.

It is a tool to serve applications.

Java has been the bread and butter of the better part of our IT needs.

We spin up many services using simple Java classes and functions.

We use Java to write transformations on our ETL tools and enterprise service bus components.

Java has allowed us to maintain a very fast time to market the maintaining a secure, well-tested code base

For many smaller companies, it is free to work with Java and provided many tools to effectively build solutions, for larger companies like ours, the ability to purchase extended support has been essential to maintaining a secure environment

The only negative is that we've exhausted the talent pool for Java developers in our area and have to reach out to contracting firms to fill the need. This leads to inefficiencies in processes
