Prominent pros & cons

PROS

Zing has helped users improve their latency performance dramatically with minimal effort.
Azul Zing creates almost a zero-incident situation due to its garbage collection capabilities.
The non-stop garbage collector (C4) is considered the most valuable feature by users.
Garbage collection pause times are maintained in low milliseconds, enhancing throughput.
Azul Zing allows the re-allocation of tuning resources to general product development.

CONS

Like every other great product, there is always something that can be improved.
It is extremely expensive.
Azul claims to have a fast warmup, but higher latency for the first trade is still experienced when the system starts up on Sundays.
The profiling tools included with Zing lag behind those available for Oracle's Java implementation.
The licensing over non-production environments considerably affects the cost for a software vendor.
