- Four out of five have migrated, they are migrating or migrating from Oracle Java, reports the report
- 66% agree that they could save 40% changing to open source
- 96% agree that they have concerns with the license or prices
Four out of five (79%) organizations have migrated, they are migrating or planning to migrate to open source Java, with almost so many (73%) users of Oracle Java who have audited their configuration in the last three years, has affirmed a new investigation.
In fact, only 14% of respondents in Blue research focused on ITAM/Sam leaders said they plan to continue with Oracle’s Java subscription, with two thirds estimating that they could save at least 40% when changing to open source java.
The news occurs after four separate changes in Oracle prices between 2020 and 2023, including an important 2023 change to employee -based prices that caused significant cost increases for many customers.
Oracle Java clients are not happy with costs
Although the cost was cited as a main reason for migration in 51% of those who have emigrated, and 29% also pointed out the unpredictability of the budget, more surveyed were concerned about safety and reliability (57%). Many were also concerned about scalability (49%), complicity and compliance with the license (28%) and the understanding of Oracle’s terms (27%).
In fact, while some customers plan to stay with Oracle, an amazing 96% of Oracle Java users have a certain level of concern with the licenses and prices of the company. Only 1% of respondents were not interested in any of the benefits of the open source.
Even so, Oracle prices changes have not been completely negative, which caused healthy organizational changes in other areas.
Two out of five (39%) agreed that the change of 2023 at employees based on employees led them to implement better systems to monitor the use of employees and license costs, and 29% also indicate a better collaboration between the participation.
“As the financial and operational loads of the software license grow, organizations recognize the need for smarter and more collaborative approaches to manage risk and reduce spending,” the report concluded.
