"Great for Enterprise Java Applications"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Azul Platform Prime (Zing)?

As a developer, I use Zing JVM at work for running servlets and Java source code, in enterprise and regular Java desktop applications. I like that it has a fast response time and a smooth user interface and I don't have to change my code to fit with this JVM. I would recommend using this for servlets and Java EE rather than simple desktop applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azul Platform Prime (Zing)?

I dislike the fact that it slows down machines by using RAM and taking up a lot of resources. They need to make it more concise and not as heavy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azul Platform Prime (Zing):

I would recommend using this on a high powered desktop rather than a laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azul Platform Prime (Zing) solving and how is that benefiting you?

My organization uses Zing JVM to run Java source code and customize the user interface to appeal to the end user. It helps make compiled applications more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
