Enterprise Architect at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

* GC Pause times are maintained in low milliseconds. This is beneficial for applications with high volume, high memory allocation rate, and a high memory footprint, (I would say >2.5gb of max heap). 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 * Azul engineering cleans up Oracle Java Development Kit bugs before GA release of the product, so you will get less bugs * The engineering support is very qualified, so they can help you diagnose code level issues and provide recommendations. Zing has free tools to get you to the root of many applications problems, like memory leaks, thread blockades, system limitations, etc. * Support lifecycle is almost unlimited. Oracle Java Development Kit's lifecycle is three years, after that you have to buy a “commercial license” which is expensive

Chief Information, Officer at LMAX Exchange

The most important Zing feature for LMAX Exchange is the C4 garbage collector. C4 effectively does continuous garbage collection and for LMAXExchange that means less latency jitter. Latency is a big deal for us and while low latency is important, predictable latency is also a requirement for our customers. Zing doesn't need to force periodic safepoints during normal operation, so assuming that you don't have any other sources of jitter in your program, you'll get a flatter latency profile with out-of-the-box behaviour.

Pause-less JVM garbage collection on JVMs with heaps in the hundreds of gigabytes is the feature I find most valuable We use the Zing JVM to deliver Solr search capabilities to our clients. Without it, we would need a team of full-time engineers to continually shard and re-shard the indices so…
