Real-time charging has stayed consistent and cuts GC incidents while reducing cloud costs
The best features Azul Zing offers include no stop-the-world during the full GC. No stop-the-world pauses during full GC, and we hit higher TPS with fewer JVMs -- a real win for maintenance and cost. As an online charging system, we can't afford crashes or latency spikes. Before Zing, JVMs would hang and drop from the grid on missed heartbeats. GC tuning is also out-of-the-box -- no more time consuming manual tuning like with Oracle/OpenJDK with no significant outcome.

Retargeting campaigns have reduced booking cancellations but new users still need clearer guidance
I believe that retargeting is the best feature that Insider offers. The ease of use and the results are why the retargeting feature stands out for me. Insider reads the results near real-time and provides AI segmentation. We only need to prompt, and then Insider will work to determine which segment is best for each campaign. Insider has helped me to reduce cancellation bookings by about 15% year-over-year. This is tracked through Insider; however, we also add additional attribution using AppsFlyer. We see significantly fewer employees needed for outbound calls because with Insider, we perform a reconfirmation of booking schedules automatically. This allows us to reduce the need for customer service outbound agents, and Insider has also helped us reduce cancellations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"After using Azul Zing, it is almost a zero-incident situation because of the GCs."
"GC Pause times are maintained in low milliseconds, which is beneficial for applications with high volume, high memory allocation rate, and a high memory footprint, and it also increases throughput by approximately 20-25% as compared to Oracle Java Development Kit based on some tests that I have done with real applications."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance drastically."
"With Zing, we've now been able to re-allocate those tuning resources to general product development."
"The non-stop garbage collector (C4 - Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector) is the most valuable feature."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance dramatically."
"No other JVM on the market even comes close to competing with the Azul Zing."
"Performance of the JVM, especially the C4 Pauseless Garbage Collection, for continuous application execution is the most valuable feature."
"Insider has helped me to reduce cancellation bookings by about 15% year-over-year."
"Insider is simple to use, making it easy to learn and navigate the platform, so the learning curve is fast."
 

Cons

"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."
"It is extremely expensive."
"The licensing over non-production environments considerably affects the cost of our solution as a software vendor."
"The profiling tools included with Zing lag behind those available for Oracle's Java implementation."
"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."
"We have encounter stability issues and that has been a source of frustration at times."
"However, like every other great product, there is always something that can be improved."
"I think that Insider can be improved on the UI side because for someone with experience, Insider would be a very great tool."
"I did not enjoy using Insider AI to generate copies, push copies, and messages."
