FlexDeploy versus Quest Stat for Oracle’s E-Business Suite
When companies look for options to help automate and streamline their E-Business Suite (EBS) implementation,
they have commercial options to consider including Quest Stat (formerly a Dell product) and Flexagon’s
FlexDeploy. While both products provide support for EBS, there are many differences in how they meet that
mission. Stat for Oracle EBS is a change management software optimized for code, setups and application lifecycle
management. FlexDeploy, on the other hand, is a comprehensive and open platform for DevOps and Continuous
Delivery that supports your unique IT landscape. FlexDeploy helps companies deliver better software faster, and
with less cost and risk, and includes support for many commercial and open source technologies.
