Oracle Java Cloud vs. Oracle Java SE Subscription

In specific scenarios, we find that Oracle Java Cloud is suitable for agile development projects, high-concurrency applications, and deployments in multi-cloud environments. However, it may not be the best option for very specialized applications that require specific technologies not supported by the platform

[Oracle Java SE Subscription] has been highly beneficial as no additional trained resources needed to be allocated for managing and handling the Java SE applications. Also it has minimal operational cost. The support team of Java SE Subscriptions are always available 24*7, the applications are always up-to-date due to frequent update and patches

• Integration with development tools
• Auto scale
• Enhanced security

• Collect in an inventory all versions of Java that have been used in different applications.
• Determine the status of old versions of Java and update or apply essential security patches.
• Oracle Support is the best to be able to solve problems in an agile and safe way.
• Fast update cycles to make new features available.

• Pricing can certainly be improved as the cost adds up for dev/test environments using the Oracle Java Cloud platform.
• It is hard to customize Oracle Java Cloud for complex Java applications requiring high bandwidth memory and network requirements.

• 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

As I mentioned before, quality of support from Oracle Java SE Subscription is extraordinary. The speed of resolution and the expertise of the staff is really appreciated. We raised a high priority support incident which blocked our process [and] Oracle Java SE support did a quick analysis and provided a solution which took less time than we expected. They also help us in installing patches and updates whenever required.

Google App Engine is great for Java applications where you are using other Google components already, for example Google GCP, Google BigQuery, etc. Redhat, OpenShift, and Pivotal CloudFounder are great when the application is very complex and includes components that are Java and non-Java based (Python, etc). Amazon AWS is more difficult to configure than Oracle Java Cloud - Oracle Java Cloud has simpler UI.

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.

• Positive impact on ROI by reducing the time to deploy Java applications in the cloud.
• Positive impact on business objectives by reducing the CapEx needed to hire staff to deploy and then later maintain the Java instances.

Incentivized

• Code portability allowed us to run the same code on all platforms
• Security is always a key issue especially in the world of increasing cybersecurity laws. It only makes sense to invest in a secure development environment
• Developers appreciate rich community support for java se platform
