Quantivate Business Continuity Software

Quantivate Business Continuity Software is a cloud-based tool for business continuity and disaster recovery planning, response, and exercises. It is best suited to banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions managing continuity within a broader GRC platform. Its coverage is broad, but custom pricing and the programming needed for custom API work make it less attractive to buyers seeking a self-service setup.

Overview

Quantivate brings risk and impact analysis, plan creation, exercises, incident management, and plan distribution together. Teams can work from a business process library and preloaded continuity, pandemic, and crisis-management templates, then keep plans and supporting documents centrally stored. Real-time updates and electronic distribution help organizations maintain current plans, while dependency mapping and RTO/RPO tracking support structured planning.

Founded in 2005, Quantivate was acquired by Ncontracts in 2023. Its GRC platform is purpose-built for banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions, making those organizations the clearest fit.

Key features

Risk, planning, and response

Threat and vulnerability analyses, risk assessment, and business impact analysis connect exposure review to continuity plans. Scenario-based exercises and incident management support preparation and disruption response. This breadth suits organizations that want planning and response in one system; teams seeking only a lightweight plan repository may not need the full scope.

Workflows, distribution, and notifications

Configurable workflows, dashboards, permissions, built-in analytics, and Report Builder give teams ways to manage work and report on it. Plans can be centrally stored, updated in real time, and distributed electronically. Emergency notifications can go by SMS, email, or voice broadcast, which gives organizations multiple channels for reaching staff during an incident.

Mobile access and integrations

The iOS and Android app lets staff access, store, and synchronize continuity plans. Quantivate also supports data sharing across its GRC platform and provides a JSON-RPC API for passing information in and out. Custom API coding requires programming knowledge, and Quantivate’s support team does not provide that coding support, so organizations without technical resources should be cautious about bespoke integrations.

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

Pricing

Quantivate Business Continuity Software uses custom pricing: buyers must contact Quantivate, and the product page offers a demo request. No public plan limits are stated, so organizations should confirm the price and any seat or usage terms directly before committing.

Platforms

The software is cloud-based and supports web, Android, and iOS access, plus an API. The mobile apps are useful for staff who need continuity plans away from a desktop; API customization may add development work.

Who it's for

Quantivate is a strong candidate for banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions that want continuity planning alongside broader GRC capabilities. Its analysis, planning, exercise, incident, notification, and reporting functions suit organizations managing a formal continuity program. Buyers that prioritize transparent pricing or need custom integrations without programming capacity should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad coverage from risk and impact analysis through exercises, incident management, and plan distribution keeps continuity work in one system.
• Preloaded templates, a process library, dependency mapping, and RTO/RPO tracking provide structure for plan development.
• Mobile plan access, synchronization, and SMS, email, and voice notifications support staff access and communication during disruptions.
• Single sign-on, user provisioning, and optional planning consulting address identity management and implementation needs.

Cons

• Custom pricing and unstated plan limits make budgeting and capacity comparisons harder before contacting sales.
• Custom API work requires programming knowledge, and Quantivate’s support team does not perform that coding.
• The strongest stated fit is financial institutions, so organizations outside that audience may find a more tailored alternative elsewhere.

Verdict

Choose Quantivate if your financial institution needs continuity planning, exercises, incident response, and mobile plan access within a broader GRC platform. Its main advantage is that breadth; its main drawback is the combination of custom pricing and technical demands for custom API work. Buyers who need predictable costs or integrations without programming resources should compare alternatives first.
