Overall Satisfaction with GraalVM

We're using GraalVM to consolidate the set of VM and SDK we're going to use after the Oracle License changes regarding JVM/JDK distribution. This enables us to consolidate and manage the standard VM platform. This was starting to work a few years ago but in 2019 is when we really ramped up and now we have a stable and consistent strategy and processes.

Pros

  • VM Management
  • SDK Standardization
  • Stable Solution

Cons

  • Community Support
  • Technology Roadmap
  • Distribution
  • Faster to Market
  • Standardization
License was the main differentiation, not other reason to compare, based on our use case.

Do you think GraalVM delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with GraalVM's feature set?

Yes

Did GraalVM live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of GraalVM go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy GraalVM again?

Yes

It depends on your problem statement and use case. In our case, we were trying to consolidate and reduce license exposure after Oracle changed the license agreements for Java. This way standardizing solved the problem we were facing, but on your side, you need to evaluate and consider and run your complete vendor evaluation and security concerns.
