BCMS Software and Automation

Software keeps a programme current. It does not replace one.

A continuity programme depends on information that changes all the time: who does what, which systems support which services, who to call and what to do first. Spreadsheets and documents struggle to keep up. Dedicated software and automation can hold that information in one place, remind owners to update it, and put the right plan in front of the right person when an incident starts.

The tool is only as useful as the programme behind it. Plans, ownership, exercising and standards such as ISO 22301 still come first. This page is general information to help you ask better questions. It sits beside ADVOX’s independent BCMS software and automation reviews.

ADVOX is independent of all software suppliers. Nothing here is a recommendation, a ranking or an endorsement of any product.

Two sources, two ways of drawing the line.

Lists of “business continuity software” do not always mean the same thing. The two sources used on this page draw the boundary differently.

Both kinds of tool can matter, and they answer different questions. A programme platform helps you decide what must keep running and how. A recovery tool helps you bring systems back. We list them in separate groups below for that reason.

Software products in the published lists.

The products below are named by Solutions Review, by Gartner Peer Insights, or by both. Each name links to the vendor’s own website. Each line is ADVOX’s own plain-language summary of what kind of tool it is.

This is not an ADVOX recommendation and not a complete market list. The order is not a ranking. ADVOX is independent of all software suppliers, and has no view on which product suits you. ADVOX does not copy ratings, review scores or review text from either source.

Continuity, resilience and risk platforms

Backup, recovery and data protection platforms

Gartner’s category page shows 20 of 36 listed products without signing in. ADVOX used only the products visible there whose description fits the category and whose vendor website it could open. Five of the 20 products shown are left out, because Gartner describes them as another kind of software or ADVOX could not verify the vendor website. Castellan Solutions and Riskonnect appear as the sources list them. Castellan’s own website now opens on a Riskonnect page titled “Castellan is now part of Riskonnect”, and the Veritas web address now opens on Cohesity’s website.

Where this page comes from.

• Source: Solutions Review, “The 15 Best Business Continuity Software and Tools for 2026”, by Tess Hanna, published 1 December 2025 as shown on the page. Solutions Review says its editors chose the products using each product’s Authority Score, a summary of user sentiment on business software review sites, and its own five-point inclusion criteria. ADVOX has not tested those criteria. The article does not say whether vendors pay for inclusion, so read it as a published list and not as an assessment by ADVOX. The product names, platforms and vendor links come from this article.
• Source: Gartner Peer Insights, Business Continuity Management Program Solutions. Used for the way the category is defined, the capabilities it lists and the product names visible on the public page, read on 24 October 2026. ADVOX is not affiliated with Gartner and this page is not a Gartner publication. No ratings, review scores, review text, rankings or Gartner logos are reproduced here.
• Vendor websites: each product name in the list links to the vendor’s own site. Product summaries are ADVOX’s own wording based on the two sources above. The only points taken from vendor sites are the Castellan and Veritas notes in the product list, and the description of Veoci, which comes from its own website.
