Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Java SE Subscription

Java is used as a primary programming language on the mid-range infrastructure in our company to develop business critical applications in the Claims, Enrollment, Member and Customer services domain. It is also the main implementation vehicle to implement micro-services architecture. Oracle Java SE Subscription is used to cost effectively manage Java SE installations, updates, and upgrades across the enterprise.
  • Performance, stability, and security updates helps to deliver high quality solutions
  • Around-the-clock support for fast fixes and mission-critical applications helps to get product roll out on time
  • Access to Oracle Java SE 8 and 7 commercial features enables to develops complex solutions with less effort
  • Integration challenges with other COTS tools
  • Compilation may be slow as compared to other languages
  • Still lacks the features like Python or R have for data analysis
  • Time to market has improved from 18 months to a year as compared to legacy mainframe applications
  • Easy to find skilled resources has speeded up development
  • Use of free versions has helped to complete Proof of Concepts to validate design
Commercial licensing model, dedicated and reliable customer support and access to open source development were the differentiating factors. Others like Qlik have a very strict licensing model and the customer ends up paying more even with smaller deployments. Azure need highly skilled resources, monitoring and administration of Azure Applications services can be very painful.
As mentioned speed to market is very critical for our business not only to meet our customer expectations but to stay competitive as well. 24/7 support from highly skilled resources for issue resolution combined with support for hotfixes and recommendations for performance tuning has greatly helped us in delivering quality solutions.

Most suitable for web based development specially web-services and standalone applications. Many of these development require open source libraries that are readily available and easy to integrate with no tedious effort. Licensing and support for cloud deployments makes it an ideal candidate for applications that can be migrated to the cloud. However, it needs to catch up with the machine learning use cases where it doesn't have the capabilities at par with Python, R or other equivalents.
