A survey indicates that nearly 80% of ITAM and SAM professionals are discontinuing Oracle Java usage. This shift is attributed to increased costs, audit risks, and the confusion caused by Oracle's transition to employee-based pricing. Between 2020 and 2023, Oracle modified its licensing policies, requiring organizations to license Java for every employee. The expansive definition of 'employee' includes contractors and temporary staff, which raises concerns about uncontrolled pricing. Previous licensing costs were considerably lower compared to the new structure introduced in January 2023, leading to inflated software expenses for minimal usage.
Nearly 80% of ITAM and SAM professionals are moving away from Oracle Java, driven by rising costs and frustration over the company's shift to employee-based pricing.
Oracle's new pricing structure mandates licensing for every employee, regardless of actual Java usage, igniting concerns over inflated licensing costs.
