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.

Self-service access has reduced support tickets and improves secure remote management
The best feature I appreciate about Jamf for Mac is the self-service portal. The self-service portal is a collection of administrative tasks that a user can complete when they want or how they want, which helps me and my users. It does not require an IT or security person to intervene every time, and it functions as a just-in-time activation of a particular rule. For example, if a user needs admin privileges for thirty minutes to install a program, the self-service portal can accomplish that easily, so an IT person does not have to be present every time software installation is needed. The remote wipe and remote lock features are also very good, as they secure the endpoint quite well. The integration with Apple Business Manager is seamless and works very well. Jamf for Mac has positively impacted my organization by making the installation and management of my user base and endpoints quite easy and effective. Jamf for Mac has saved me time, improved security, and reduced the number of support tickets. It has made my life easier by managing Mac endpoints on a remote basis, significantly reducing my support tickets, and increasing my visibility from a security perspective. I can obtain audit logs from Jamf to track user activities. The Jamf dashboard gives me a complete overview and inventory of whatever services are running or whatever applications are installed on an endpoint, which makes my life significantly easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Zing has completely solved the garbage collection problem for us."
"The non-stop garbage collector (C4 - Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector) is the most valuable feature."
"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 Zing, we've now been able to re-allocate those tuning resources to general product development."
"Performance of the JVM, especially the C4 Pauseless Garbage Collection, for continuous application execution is the most valuable feature."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance dramatically."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance dramatically."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance drastically."
"Jamf for Mac has two features recently added: compliance and blueprint."
"Jamf for Mac has positively impacted my organization by making the installation and management of my user base and endpoints quite easy and effective."
 

Cons

"It is extremely expensive."
"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."
"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."
"However, like every other great product, there is always something that can be improved."
"We have encounter stability issues and that has been a source of frustration at times."
"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."
"The integration with identity federation portals or IAM tools such as Okta can be improved."
"Another big issue for us is that when I have updated macOS from the software update, I cannot see the progress of how many systems are going to install for macOS."
