Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Java SE Subscription
As an educational institution, we have thousands of machines that need to be loaded with a variety of different software and systems for our students to be able to achieve the goals set by the university. I am based in a School of Computing and we utilize Java as one of our core programming languages, as such we needed to find a cost-effective way of licensing Java across all of these machines. This is why we chose to use the Java SE subscription as it simplifies the distribution of licenses, is cheaper, and covers cloud functionality which has been significantly useful with the transition to more cloud-based services.
Pros
- Cost effective options for smaller organizations.
- Great automated security and patching options.
- Cross-platform support (Desktop, Cloud etc.).
- Some interesting ML options.
- Easy to use developer environment.
Cons
- User based subscription could be replaced with an enterprise level option.
- Core features not always updated as quickly as the free alternative Java SDK.
- No backup facility.
- Improved Java deployment efficiency.
- Reduced costs.
- Real time diagnostics minimizes downtime.
As Java has been developed by Oracle, you can rely on them being the best providers for support and implementation of Java across a large variety of systems. The support staff around the SE subscription have been exceptionally helpful throughout the entire process from purchasing to post-installation support. The subscription itself gives you a strong development platform along with access to a variety of useful tools all of which are on par with other industry-standard systems. The simple UI and strong inter-connectivity with other Oracle systems far exceed what other providers are trying to provide.
