Standardized our Java estate and have reduced licensing costs while maintaining strong support
Azul Zulu's ability to allow us to standardize our Java estate on a single and well-supported platform stands out as one of its best features. This standardization simplifies our compliance audits and ensures all our applications receive timely security updates.Azul Zulu positively impacts our organization by providing a platform that allows us to standardize Java on a well-supported platform. Without the high cost associated with other proprietary vendors, Azul Zulu provides an excellent platform for running our applications.

Centralized visual workflows have boosted automation and brand control but still need better dev tooling
While Canva Enterprise is a powerhouse, there are specific areas where it could be improved. Currently, Canva provides an Open API specification, but it does not maintain official first-party client libraries for languages like Java or Python. Developers have to use tools like Open API generator to create their own clients. This adds overhead in managing dependencies and ensuring the generated code handles Canva's specific authentication. Canva could release a first-party Java SDK with better support for Maven and Gradle, including built-in retry logic. Another area for improvement is versioning. For developers, versioning usually means a clear history of changes. However, Canva has basic version history that is linear and lacks the branching and merging logic needed for complex projects. Design as Code features could be implemented where templates could be exported as JSON and modified in an integrated development environment. This would allow developers to manage design templates in the same continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline as their application code. Additionally, Canva currently provides notifications when a design is exported. However, developers need more granular triggers such as comment added, approval rejected, or brand kit element updated. Canva could expand the webhook suite to cover every administrative and creative action, which would allow much tighter integrations with Jira, Slack, or custom internal dashboards.

Pros

"We've had no issues with stability."
"I joined this project which had already been underway for approximately six months, and in two months, I refactored the whole project and wrote it, and it is functional."
"We achieved specific outcomes from using Azul Zulu by reducing our Java licensing and support costs by approximately 70% when compared to our previous Oracle contract."
"One of the best features Azul Zulu offers is its ability to reduce compile time for byte code loading by almost 40 to 50% during our testing."
"Since starting to use Canva Enterprise, designs and work have become much faster, resulting in 30 to 40% time savings."
"Overall, Canva Enterprise is an excellent platform for students, teams, or any user who wants to create professional-looking designs quickly without deep technical knowledge about UI or UX."
"Canva Enterprise has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to easily create graphics, images, and documents, improving team collaboration and dropping our design costs, which are specific outcomes we have noticed."
"Canva Enterprise helped my organization improve the speed, consistency, and quality of marketing communications."
"Compared to other tools available in the market, Canva Enterprise has been one of our greatest assets in time management and return on investment."

Cons

"Improvements for Azul Zulu could include more automated tools for unused code visibility integrated directly into the standard portal to help further optimize our cloud footprints."
"It needs a better update daemon. At this time the process is manual and could be an issue on multiple desktop deployments."
"I gave it a six because, in my situation, for my company and software, it is not able to fully support our needs, and the claims made about the product were very high while the actual delivery was underwhelming, as I felt the salespeople were too aggressive in their commitments."
"I think Azul Zulu can be improved by always thinking about productivity, as most languages tend to evolve in that direction."
"I think Canva Enterprise can be improved because currently, it is not as powerful as other tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator."
"Canva Enterprise could be improved by enhancing its AI features to be more accurate and customizable, especially for brand-specific designs."
"The video editing prompt, the artificial intelligence prompt that Canva has provided, is a feature that I think could be improved, especially regarding text-to-video generation, which I am looking forward to."
"Canva Enterprise currently has limited features and is not as powerful as Photoshop or Illustrator."
"Canva Enterprise is heavy software."
"Like some other tools, Canva should introduce an AI writing assistant tool on their platform."
"Currently, Canva provides an Open API specification, but it does not maintain official first-party client libraries for languages like Java or Python."
"Canva Enterprise can be improved in its AI functionality."
