It cleans up Oracle Java Development Kit bugs before GA release of the product, so you will get less bugs
* 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

It is based on OpenJDK so you obtain practically the same performance compared to Hotspot.
I've been using Zulu on Windows and OSX, and although it has many other features, I can mention 3: - It is based on OpenJDK so you obtain practically the same performance compared to Hotspot; - Azul offers options to embed it on your apps; and - It only packs JDK and excludes the web plugin.
