The notion that a company would focus on supporting and making available a version of OpenJDK is, in my opinion, a very good thing for the Java community. Doing so really well, even better and in my experience, Azul does just that. I have had success installing and using multiple versions of Zulu on Linux, macOS, and Windows. I have reached out to Azul technical support and have had very positive interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not a particular dislike that comes to mind, but additional efforts on something comparable to the GraalVM native-image process would be interesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support timelie is above and beyond:

Well after the end of life of Java 7, the ownership of a few webservices were transferred to me that were still using it and failed on higher versions. Before upgrading them I was able to run them on a supported Java distribution, Zulu was the only one that time that was free and supported Java 7.

Great if you need a small OpenJDK Docker image:

Zulu's docker image is really small, check it out on DockerHub.

Fisrt for M1:

As far as I remember, Zulu was the only free OpenJDK distribution that supported the M1 Mac at the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We started using the Azul JDK from 11, and have enjoyed both the ease of use and consistency it offers in terms of packaging and licensing of the product.

There are no hoops to jump through, and you get a robust, performant JDK.

We treat JFX as something provided by the environment, like Azul's JDK/JFX packaging.

Having been developing in Java for many years, we have legacy products that depend on JDK7 and 8, which are also available from Azul and are as easy to get to as the most recent JDK.

Azul's approach gives us confidence moving forward with our development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have not found any downside to the Azul Platform as yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azul Zulu is very easy to start using, and it performs very well. I can rely upon Azul Zulu to stay on top of security with regularly scheduled distributions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot think of anything that I do not like about Azul Zulu. I have been using it for years, and I would certainly recommend it to colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The number of binaries available to use that not only support different platforms, but also different feature sets was a life saver on my last team.

There were just no alternatives from other vendors to solve our problem.

We also received excellent support from Azul to the extent that they provided us with a custom build to test with. Absolutly fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can think of no downsides at all. We received everything we needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azul provides all of the major LTS (long-term support) JDK build versions that are TCK-tested free of charge with the option of paid support.

By choosing Azul’s excellent support offering companies can automatically get the security-patched Java versions from 6 to the latest (19 +).

I use Azul Platform Core on servers & desktops with great peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything I dislike except maybe some product name confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is excellent that we can download versions for Linux/Windows 64bit and also for aarch64 Linux, and they just work. The fact that the installers are well thought out solidify my reason for using Azul Platform Core. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that we dislike to miss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fastest to get security patches out the door.

Stable.

Proven reliable, reputable team behind it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike about Zulu that applies specifically to Zulu and not to any other JDK. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an simple, drop-in replacement to Oracle's JDK. In fact, I've found it's just a bit easier to install locally, much easier to deploy remotely, and Just Works. I'd recommend it to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no complaints at all. I haven't used it at huge scale, so YMMV, but it's worked perfectly for me every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For use on Windows machines, the Zulu JDKs are solid, up-to-date and free of the Oracle licensing mess.

For Linux machines (we use mostly Debian on LXC containers) it makes it very easy to pick a major JDK version, irrespective of the OS version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
