Plans and documentation can be stored centrally, distributed electronically, and updated in real time. Emergency notifications can go out by SMS, email, or voice broadcast. Quantivate’s iOS and Android app lets staff access, store, and synchronize plans. The platform provides single sign-on and user provisioning, and Quantivate offers optional consulting services to help organizations develop continuity and disaster recovery plans.

Quantivate brings planning, exercises, incident management, and emergency notifications together in a cloud platform. Organizations should request pricing and account for programming needs when considering custom API integrations.

It is intended for organizations managing business continuity and disaster recovery plans, particularly banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. Optional consulting services may suit organizations seeking help developing those plans.

Quantivate Business Continuity Software is a cloud platform for organizations coordinating continuity and disaster recovery work across planning, exercises, and response. It is most compelling for banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions that want continuity work within a broader GRC platform. Its broad planning-to-response scope is a strength, but custom pricing and programming requirements for custom API work make it less suitable for buyers seeking a self-service setup.

Overview

The platform brings risk and impact analysis, plan creation, exercises, incident management, and plan distribution into one system. A business process library and preloaded continuity, pandemic, and crisis-management templates provide a starting structure, while centralized storage and real-time updates help teams keep plans and supporting documentation current. Quantivate was founded in 2005 and acquired by Ncontracts in 2023.

Key features

Analysis and plan management

Threat and vulnerability analyses, risk assessment, and business impact analysis connect exposure review to continuity planning. The plan editor, process library, and templates support plan creation, while dependency mapping and RTO/RPO tracking provide additional planning structure. This breadth is useful for organizations managing interdependent processes, though teams still need to build and maintain plans suited to their own operations.

Exercises, incidents, and distribution

Scenario-based exercises and incident management support preparation as well as disruption response. Plans can be updated in real time, distributed electronically, and stored centrally. Emergency notifications by SMS, email, and voice broadcast extend the response capability beyond the planning workspace.

Administration, mobile access, and integrations

Configurable workflows, dashboards, reports, permissions, built-in analytics, and Report Builder give administrators options for managing processes and reviewing activity. The iOS and Android app lets staff access, store, and synchronize continuity plans, which is useful when plans need to travel beyond a desktop. Quantivate describes data sharing across its GRC platform and offers a JSON-RPC API for passing information into and out of the platform. Custom API coding requires programming knowledge, and Quantivate's support team does not support that work; organizations without development resources should treat custom integration as a real implementation constraint.

Quantivate says its internal controls meet AICPA Trust Services Criteria for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of customer data. Single sign-on and user provisioning, including account creation on first login, can simplify access administration. Optional consulting services can help organizations build business continuity and disaster recovery plans.

Pricing

Business Continuity Software: custom pricing. The paid plan's price and limits are determined through contact with Quantivate; a demo request is offered. There is no stated public seat cap, quota, or trial term to compare, so buyers should establish expected users, implementation needs, and total cost directly before committing. Optional consulting may suit teams needing planning help, but adds a services consideration to the purchase.

Platforms

Quantivate supports web access and offers iOS and Android mobile apps. An API is also available for integrations, with custom coding requiring programming expertise.

Who it's for

Banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions are the clearest fit, particularly those seeking continuity planning alongside broader GRC capabilities. Organizations that need connected analysis, plan management, exercises, incident response, and mobile plan access may benefit from the unified scope. Buyers looking for transparent public pricing or custom integrations they can delegate to vendor support should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Covers analysis, plan management, exercises, incidents, and disruption response in one cloud platform, reducing the need to coordinate those functions across separate products.
• Pros: Templates, a process library, centralized plan storage, and real-time distribution give teams a practical foundation for maintaining plans.
• Pros: Mobile synchronization, emergency notifications, SSO, and user provisioning support access and response across an organization.
• Cons: Custom pricing makes cost comparison harder before speaking with sales.
• Cons: Custom API work depends on programming knowledge and is not supported by Quantivate's support team.

Alternatives

Continuity2 is worth considering for organizations comfortable with an annual license priced by staff size: its Meridian BCMS plan costs £20,000 a year for 0–500 staff and allows unlimited users within the organisation. Noggin Business Continuity Software is another paid option with Android, iOS, web, and API platforms; its sales consultants provide pricing estimates and a 30-minute demonstration.

Riskonnect is a paid alternative on Android, iOS, web, and API, with pricing dependent on project size, complexity, and customization. Preparis is a paid option without a free plan, available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows; pricing is requested through a demo. Strobe Business Continuity is a paid, web-based alternative.

Onspring is a paid web and API option; its Silver plan adds storage, a development environment, a non-production department environment, and 1K/month SMS messages over Bronze. Bedrock has no free plan and offers an Enterprise plan at $30,000 a year, with unlimited BCP plans. ContinueOps is a paid alternative with Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows platforms; its listed add-ons include five additional named users for £100 a month and 600 DR test minutes for £150, paid once, with those minutes never expiring.

Verdict

Quantivate is a strong fit for financial institutions that want a single cloud system for continuity planning, exercising, and response, with mobile plan access and broader GRC connections. Its key drawbacks are custom pricing and the need to bring programming expertise to custom API work. Choose it when that breadth matches your operating needs; look elsewhere if public pricing or vendor-supported custom integration is essential.
