Oracle Java SE Subscription provides updates to our platforms at a reduced price saving us a lot of costs. The Oracle customer support team is always ready to give any guidelines 24/7 when reached for help.
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
The Oracle Java SE Subscription is a useful service that can support larger organizations that need to implement quick feature development and need to do so with maximum support with minimal fuss. Performance can vary due to the nature of Javas JVM having to boot upon every start and there can be some compatibility issues with a few third-party systems. Smaller organizations would be better off utilizing Java SDK or OpenJDK as these are free but don't have the benefit of direct support from Oracle. If a larger organization has a long history of using Java and has legacy systems running on older versions of Java, then the extra support needed will more than justify the cost If you are heavily invested in Java and need to support applications running on older versions such as Java 8, or you want to use OracleJDK, then you would want to consider getting the subscription for its support and patches.

Oracle Java SE is used as our primary programming language for any backend application that needs to be high performance. With its simple syntax, the JVM, and extensive community support Oracle Java SE Subscription speeds up deployment and feature delivery. Though the JVM generally handles memory management, it does provide knobs to adjust garbage collection as needed to further tune the applications to limit GC pauses for low latency applications. In the past few years, the Oracle Java SE Subscription has sped up the iterative development of Oracle Java SE, leading to many modern and welcome language features so that Java does not fall behind.
Pros
Object oriented programming.
Memory management.
Concurrent programming.
Multi-platform support.
Lots of libraries and APIs.
Cons
Limited manual memory management.
Older language that is verbose compared to other modern languages.
Likelihood to Recommend
Oracle Java SE Subscription is great for any application that needs rapid feature development, but you also need to tune the application for performance requirements. Oracle Java SE is also widely supported by many third-party APIs. Oracle Java SE, particularly the JVM, is not great for serverless development, e.g., AWS Lambda. [With] slow startup times, we lead to startup lag as the JVM has to start up on every cold start. Oracle Java SE is also limited in any development that needs specific memory management.
We use Oracle Java SE Subscription almost exclusively for all our backend services and developments. Being such an important component of our technology stack, the Oracle Java SE Subscription ensures all our Java-based applications are well supported, especially the ones running older versions of Java, by continuously releasing bug fixes and security patches. This really helps us feel secure with our investment in Java technology.
Pros
Great technical support, especially for the Long-Term-Supported (LTS) versions.
Security patches and updates.
Cons
Cost is still a bit high.
Likelihood to Recommend
This really depends on how invested you are with Oracle and Java. For startups, it might be difficult to justify the cost, so alternatives such as OpenJDK would be better. If you are heavily invested in Java and need to support applications running on older versions such as Java 8, or you want to use OracleJDK, then you would want to consider getting the subscription for its support, and patches.
