Chose GraalVM
GraalVM startup times and memory footprint is unbeatable. Polyglot capability provides greater flexibility and faster development times.
Chose GraalVM
The packaging of GraalVM is completely different form the above-listed products, it is more like an integration platform. The out of box solutions for technologies like Java, and using with iOS native image is one of the examples. And easily used with Gradle and Maven build …
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM allowed language interoperability compared to the other two. Corretto is no better than the default HotSpot JVM in our case and is also lacking in modern versions. Oracle Java has JDK 15 but it doesn't have language interoperability or AOT. GraalVM just hit that nice …
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM allows for better language interop between languages compared to JNI, and also supports other languages for scripting like Python, Ruby and others. This means seemless modding capability compared to the normal JDK and other things.
Chose GraalVM
Oracle GraalVM has been selected due to its ability to perform ahead-of time compilation by compiling JAVA code to native image which helps in scaling up the performance of the application startup and execution time, thus consuming low memory and CPU cycles. Also, supporting …
Chose GraalVM
I have not used other products like GraalVM, and I was not in charge of evaluating other products.
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM by far has proved to be the most reliable and advanced virtual machine supporting dual compilation (Static as well as Dynamic). Java Code is compiled by an ahead-of-time compiler to a native image that supports JVM based languages (Java, Scala, etc.) as well as other …
Chose GraalVM
We have opted for GraalVM due to its ability to integrate and interoperability with major languages (such as Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, LLVM based languages like C and C++, and several other dynamic languages) popular in the IT industry. Due to its compatibility with Java …
Chose GraalVM
The advantages of GraalVM over other products are as follows: 1. All the languages share the same VM and its capabilities. Provides language-independent tooling interoperability optimization. 2. It has a very reduced memory footprint.
Chose GraalVM
Points in support of GraalVM over other products are as follows:
  • GraalVM compiler behaving as a JIT compiler for Java, which supports both Static and Dynamic Compilation
  • GraalVM native image that allows the ahead-of-time compile Java Program to a standalone executable called a …
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM has the ability to compile Java applications ahead of time into a native binary. This will result in instant startup of the application and consuming significantly less memory compared to traditional JIT (Just in Time) compilation setup. Though JIT is preferable for …
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM can run faster than the traditionally used Java SE. Companies like Twitter are using GraalVM as against using JAVA SE to scale up their production values and save money. It has a Graal compiler and polyglot feature missing in Java SE, which is a mix and match of …
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM is much better in terms of performance and speed. It also provides the multi-language support feature.
Chose GraalVM
License was the main differentiation, not other reason to compare, based on our use case.
Chose GraalVM
We used Azure App Service along with stream analytics both have their own pros and cons. GraalVM is better for Java native codes while Azure is for C# and .NET. Both are good, in a sense, but for our native apps GraalVM is better. We would like to see how it does in the long run.
Chose GraalVM
Considered OpenJDK and OracleJDK. Our main point is still that we need a VM which starts the servers very quickly and GraalVM tops them all.
Qlik Analytics Platform
Chose Qlik Analytics Platform
They are all good tools, each having their own pros and cons. Qlik Analytics Platform was easy to set up, more than affordable, and has a good user base. Though not as large as some of the other tools, it is growing every day and for the price, it is very hard to beat. I would …
Chose Qlik Analytics Platform
On the long run we will not stay with Qlik as the management chose to switch to the Microsoft suite. We think that this will not impact us as a team as both tools are worthy competitors
Chose Qlik Analytics Platform
Compared to competitors, the value for money of the Qlik package in its enterprise version is one of the most competitive in relation to the strengths listed above.
Chose Qlik Analytics Platform
We selected Qlik Analytics Platform when other public-facing tools were either prohibitively expensive for our uses (BusinessObjects) or still not quite mature (Power BI). Now we're in the maintenance contract, it's cost-effective for us to remain. Qlik feels like an excellent …
Chose Qlik Analytics Platform
Qlik is a platform with more scaling ability and functionality compared to PowerBI. PowerBI is the prior step before passing to Qlik, however, Qlik provides more functions and abilities to the business domain unit with better management capabilities for the IT team that set it …

If you want to have a cool VM, don't spend too much memory and mainly being multilanguage go ahead. Be aware there are some points that can be improved like a couple of languages are not accepted so far. Like used to, it's easy to use and you can find a lot of information regarding the tool so if you need to do something fast, it's a good choice.

  • It's flexible in allowing the development of fully-fledged analysis tools and dashboards, but also smaller "widgets" to embed in our websites to bring stories to life, and enables us to develop things once and then re-use them in different contexts.
  • The development platform and management console are both easy to use, and, with proper data development by our expert developers, can be used by relatively junior colleagues to produce great-looking and very useful products.
  • The way the platform handles a mix of data sources from different APIs and internal data stores is good.
  • We like the visualizations and from a corporate perspective find it easy to develop one-size-fits-all visualizations that present a wide range of data items well in a responsive way.

Cons
  • It should be possible to use GraalVM EE to distribute native images of JavaFX applications for mobile platforms, especially for Apple platforms.
  • Native Images are a game changer. However, compiling complex applications can be a pain. Better support for an improved transition process are a must.

Support Rating
The support we received when porting legacy applications from the GraalVM team and community was commendable. We were able to get assistance in introducing alternatives for the libraries we were using where appropriate. GraalVM support was also able to help us with some configuration options we were stuck with for configuring deployment environments on AWS compute.

Qlik is great for companies with lots of business domains and departments because it scales well, especially if data that is reported is saved in SQL and similar structures. Its ease of use and good UI enables business units to create and manage their own reports. That removes a great burden of creating and managing/modifying these pages from the IT team. Overall, it's a win-win for both IT and business units.

They are all good tools, each having their own pros and cons. Qlik Analytics Platform was easy to set up, more than affordable, and has a good user base. Though not as large as some of the other tools, it is growing every day and for the price, it is very hard to beat. I would recommend it. Microsoft Power BI is a little more intuitive to some users, many of them engineers, because of its similarities to Excel. I do like that it follows a similar structure to Excel but I think that it also has the same old-school GUI, which could be improved on. I prefer the way Qlik Analytics Platform's visualizations look because they appear more modern and smooth rather than rigid.
