Overall Satisfaction with Azul Platform Core

We used Azul Platform Core for all our Java products. Azul Platform Core is used as it is cheaper than Oracle and more secure than OpenJDK.
  • Cost-effective
  • Additional JVM arguments
  • High throughput
  • Support from the Azul Team
  • High CPU and memory at times
  • Missing support for some of OpenJDK JVM options
  • It was available at a low price.
  • Security updates are frequent.
  • Some additional JVM options help increase throughput.
In my experience, it mostly worked in general during migration. Just some of the JVM options were missing and GC log handling was poor for Azul Platform Core.
In my opinion, it offered very poor support, and I believe their tech support does not have much knowledge of their own systems.

Do you think Azul Platform Core delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Azul Platform Core's feature set?

Yes

Did Azul Platform Core live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Azul Platform Core go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Azul Platform Core again?

Yes

I would go for Azul Platform Core where someone needs secure JRE and JDK at a cheaper price where they can afford some CPU memory spikes. If you are highly concerned about the high availability of systems, or CPU memory usage, then, in my opinion, Azul Platform Core should be avoided. Also, considering what I believe to be their poor support, you might want to reconsider buying this subscription.
