| CTO at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees | 5.0 | We find Azul/Zing JVM excellent, dramatically improving latency and freeing resources by solving GC issues. We experience some startup latency and suggest profiling tool improvements, but the ROI is outstanding. |
| Architect/Designer at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees | 4.0 | For our low-latency trading solutions, Zing's pauseless GC is crucial, freeing tuning resources previously spent minimizing pauses. While we've faced stability issues and limited monitoring, Azul's responsive support makes it invaluable despite its cost. |
| CTO at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees | 5.0 | Azul/Zing JVM dramatically improved our trading platform's latency, solving GC issues and freeing resources. Although we still experience startup latency for the first trade and want profiling tool improvements, it's a great product with excellent ROI. |
| Chief Information, Officer at LMAX Exchange | 4.5 | We found Zing's C4 garbage collector eliminated our latency jitter and GC tuning woes, proving invaluable for productivity and ROI despite complex setup. While profiling tools lag, its impact on predictable latency was transformative, and customer service is very good. |
| Manager of IT Infrastructure at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees | 5.0 | I value Zing's pause-less GC for large heaps, critical for stable Solr performance, avoiding constant sharding. While extremely expensive, its unique capabilities, stability, and excellent support justify the investment when truly needed. |
| Software Engineer at a leisure / travel company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 5.0 | We've used this solution for two years, finding the non-stop garbage collector invaluable for focusing on new functions. Initial setup was straightforward with good support, and we've experienced no issues. I only wish for a better way to pinpoint memory leak sources. |
| Enterprise Architect at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees | 5.0 | I am extremely happy with Zing; it significantly improves throughput and reduces GC pause times for high-volume applications. Support is excellent, and it's very stable, allowing me to scale effectively without issues. |
