There’s minimal documentation specific to Corretto features; most users have to rely on general OpenJDK documentation. Also, while it’s stable, there’s no official GUI installer for some OS versions, which may be slightly inconvenient for beginners. The community support is not as strong as some other JDKs.

The main drawback is that it lacks the extensive performance monitoring and management tools found in Oracle commercial JVMs. If you require built-in enterprise features, you’ll have to rely on third-party solutions. Additionally, the documentation tends to be rather basic, mostly covering installation. While it works very well for typical use cases, advanced users may find it falls short in providing in-depth tuning insights. Customer support is limited unless you are a premium user.
