BC in the Cloud Reviews & Product Details

I have been using BC in the Cloud for 1.5 years for BC/DR planning, and I find it incredibly useful in managing tasks in one central location. The tool enables comprehensive workflow structuring for Business Impact Analyses (BIAs), effectively supporting the entire Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) lifecycle from beginning to end. The implementation process was smooth, and I appreciated the guidance from an assigned implementation specialist, which helped us become familiar with the tool. I also find the capability to structure Business Entities to document our company's organization very beneficial. The platform allows me to perform various critical tasks, such as calculating Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and documenting task lists for outages, which are essential for our operations. Furthermore, the platform is not only easy to use but also customizable to fit any organization's unique needs. I particularly value how the platform supports our goal of achieving the ISO 22301 certification. The BC in the Cloud team is fantastic—they truly listen to customers and address their needs. Overall, the combination of usability, support, and customization options makes BC in the Cloud a highly effective tool for my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the report customization in BC in the Cloud challenging as it requires a pretty extensive knowledge of HTML to modify documents. A simpler, out-of-the-box way to customize reports would be fantastic, making the process more accessible to users without technical expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility of the tool and the people behind the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost model around the API module is essentially all or nothing which makes it cost prohibitive for a single connector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BC in the Cloud has helped us automate a lot of our historical manual processes and allows us to efficiently and effectively complete our program processes and track the various tasks and activities in a more effective manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see a better test environment opportunity. Currently, you need to spin up a test environment and manage and monitor it separately from production which is time-consuming and adds another layer of overhead. It would be nice if they could come up with a way to mimic the production site (objects, relationships, integrations, etc.) without including all the production data and the need to customize and manage a separate environment.

Over the course of my career, I've utilized several BCM applications. Some required high degrees of customization to make them useful. Others lacked an intuitive user experience and interface or had the ability for the software to scale as the program matured. The BC in the Cloud solution offers robust out-of-the-box features that are both intuitive and scalable and can be easily customized to meet the unique resiliency and risk requirements for our company.

The only downside I've seen so far is a gap in out-of-the-box reporting functionality but I wouldn't say that it has been a showstopper for our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After comparing to other tools on the market around 2015, BCintheCloud offered all the functionality we were looking for a great price. The implementation team was great to work with as we migrating from an older software tool. Their support team is very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To get the most from the tool, one really needs to have HTML/Java type knowledge and expertise. If you don't, you have to rely on their support and service delivery team to do what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can teach a new BC Department or IT user how to use the system on their own in 30 minutes. Most have navigation and the process down in less than 20 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As we all like to see things a little differently, I'd like the BIA analysis improved in the tool to score impacts better for my business. Thankfully, BC in the Cloud completely understands my needs and is helping me customize the system to meet my organization's needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had a chance to use BC in the Cloud as we were migrating our enterprise HR system into the cloud for ease of use and ability for our employees to access internal data in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the issues we came across when using BC in the cloud was the inability to have consistent access to our data in real time across different platforms b/w Windows and MacOS users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BC in the Cloud is a very customizable tool and has allowed us to enhance and expand our Business Reliency Program with more/better data and metrics. We've been able to build out every component of our program in one tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The somewhat complex backend of the tool requires HTML knowledge in order to really enhance reporting, scripting, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Any person with a little system administration or basic content management experience can start customizing screens and fields with minimal effort. Almost everything in the BCIC application can be tailored and customized to address the specific needs of your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting is clunky and difficult to navigate. There are no options for openly visible and customized dashboards. The ability to easily customize BCIC can quickly deviate the application from a standard upgrade cycle that realizes new functionality and upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
