Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Java SE Subscription

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.
  • Downloadable MSI
  • Security Updates
  • Nice Online Support System
  • AMC Usage details hard to Decipher and Categorize
  • AMC JRE Upgrades have very limited Scheduling of Deployments, should be more like SCCM. Where you know exactly when deployments are going out. Not just when the Agent decides to check in.
  • Cost is WAY too high
  • High cost of the subscription.
  • Time to set up and configure Management Console.
  • Positive is the ease of download on Quarterly Security Updates.
Staff seems to be pretty quick to answer and address questions that get posted to the Support page. Also, they respond as well when tickets get escalated. Lastly, they will keep you informed, and check back with you as you live tickets open that are still in the works.

Cost for what you get. You can easily extract MSI from Exe, or simply deploy the EXE with command line switches, and not need the Enterprise Sub. The Advance Management Tool is still in Beta phase, and it does not seem like Oracle is actively updating it with any regularity. That is the biggest reason for my rating.
