EasyDMARC positions itself as a specialized DMARC reporting and management tool. We found its core strength lies in detailed DMARC aggregate (RUA) and failure (RUF) report analysis, offering clear visualizations of email traffic sources and their authentication status. It includes tools for SPF, DKIM, and BIMI, with managed options for these protocols, which is quite convenient.
Beyond DMARC, EasyDMARC also incorporates features like MTA-STS and TLS-RPT, alongside tools for email investigation and reputation monitoring. We particularly appreciate its subdomain detection and vendor identification capabilities, which are crucial for uncovering shadow IT and rogue senders.
Everest, on the other hand, is a broader email deliverability platform that includes DMARC reporting as one of its many features. Its primary focus extends to inbox placement testing, email validation, design tests, and competitive intelligence. We've seen Everest provide comprehensive insights into overall email program performance, which goes beyond just authentication.
The platform integrates various data sources, such as Google Postmaster Tools (GPT) and Microsoft SNDS, offering a holistic view of sender reputation. While its DMARC reporting is functional, it’s often integrated into a larger deliverability strategy, emphasizing the impact of DMARC on overall inboxing rather than solely on authentication compliance.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
EasyDMARC generally offers a straightforward and intuitive user interface. We found that navigating through DMARC reports and configuring policies is relatively simple, even for those new to email authentication. The dashboards provide clear, visual summaries, making it easy to spot compliance issues at a glance.
However, some users have noted that with the platform's continuous addition of new features, it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming to learn and implement everything. Despite this, the core DMARC management remains user-friendly, and the "Managed DMARC" feature simplifies policy adjustments significantly.
Everest presents a modern and visually appealing interface, with highly customizable dashboards. We found the ability to tailor dashboards to specific deliverability metrics very useful. However, due to its broader scope and numerous features, there can be a steeper learning curve, especially for new users transitioning from simpler tools.
While the navigation is generally logical, some users have expressed that finding specific data or features can sometimes require a few extra clicks. The platform's extensive capabilities mean that getting the most out of it often requires a deeper understanding of email deliverability as a whole, rather than just DMARC.
Which product has the best support
Support
EasyDMARC's support often receives high praise, particularly for its responsiveness and the proactive approach of its dedicated engineers during onboarding. We've seen instances where users received quick responses to tickets, sometimes within minutes, and detailed guidance on complex DMARC issues. Their knowledge base is comprehensive, and email support is generally effective.
However, some users have expressed a preference for phone support, which is not universally available across all plans or for general inquiries, instead relying on scheduled meetings for more in-depth assistance. Despite this, the consistent feedback points to a knowledgeable and helpful support team that guides users through implementation and ongoing management.
Everest provides customer success managers and support channels, but the feedback on its support quality is mixed. While some users report positive experiences with knowledgeable account managers, others have noted that technical questions can take longer to resolve, and direct frontline support might lack the deep technical understanding required for complex issues.
There's also a mention of support being better for beginners but less so for industry professionals looking for advanced troubleshooting. The transition from its predecessor, Return Path, caused some initial challenges, but it appears to have improved over time. Overall, support seems to be available, but the depth and speed can vary.
Who should use each product
Suitability
EasyDMARC is particularly well-suited for organizations, from SMBs to enterprises, that prioritize robust DMARC implementation and management. Its free tier is attractive for small businesses or individuals starting their DMARC journey. The platform's multi-tenancy features also make it highly suitable for MSPs (managed service providers) and MSSPs looking to manage DMARC for multiple clients efficiently.
For enterprise clients, EasyDMARC offers advanced features like SSO, audit logs, and dedicated DMARC engineers, making it a strong choice for large organizations with complex email ecosystems and stringent security requirements. It excels where the primary goal is clear visibility and enforcement of email authentication protocols.
Everest is ideal for larger SMBs and enterprises that require a comprehensive email deliverability suite, not just DMARC. Marketing teams and deliverability specialists who need insights into inbox placement, email validation, and engagement metrics will find Everest's broad feature set invaluable. Its ability to integrate with ESPs and provide a holistic view of email performance makes it suitable for optimizing extensive email marketing programs.
While it includes DMARC, it's generally part of a wider deliverability strategy. MSPs might find its broader focus less tailored to pure DMARC management, but if their clients require a full deliverability platform, Everest can certainly fill that role. Small businesses might find its entry-level pricing quite steep if they only need basic DMARC monitoring.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for
EasyDMARC's main drawback can be its rapid feature expansion, which sometimes leads to a learning curve for administrators needing to deploy new functionalities. Additionally, some users have noted a desire for phone support across all plans. Everest, while powerful, faces criticism regarding its pricing transparency, especially for enterprise tiers, and some users experience difficulties with seedlist testing during transitions from other platforms.

Just poor onboarding and sales support
0.5 / 5
The aggregated reports are great, as well as the ability to have multiple domain reports displayed in one reporting system. I started my free trial after a sales rep gave me a demo of the tool. I added 12 domains to the system. Ultimately, I was motivated to start using the software since it takes some time to set up. After all domains were set up, I reached back out to schedule another meeting (that's the only support available during the trial) trying to understand "what's next". It costs $79 for 5 domains; so I knew 12 domains would cost more, but I couldn't really grasp the business case yet. Why use easyDMARC over not using it? Setting up DKIM, SPF, etc., can be done without it. In the second meeting, my salesperson wasn't helpful at all. She pointed out that she had already answered some of my questions in the first meeting, repeatedly mentioned how important "this all" is, and that their customers are all happy. But I still didn't understand how to use it effectively. How do I go about using this software daily and make it part of my business routine? The conversation became heated when we went through an aggregated report by domain and looked at non-compliant traffic. There was some, and I didn't know what the source was. So, I asked, "What do I do now with this information?" She responded that she is not an engineer and that after I subscribe, I can reach out to customer service, but that all their customers find this all very easy. I had to stop the conversation and felt very disappointed since I was simply looking for an explanation on how to use the information provided so I could build a case for why it makes sense to buy this software for my company. I was hoping to find a solution that keeps us on top of complience, reporting and data management.

Shady sales practice shoot down ok software - don't use these guys
0.5 / 5
The software is decent and the validation program works for Microsoft (Hotmail etc) based email, but not for Gmail. Terrible sales practice. Call you within 45 days of renewal, when you ask to change you are told you can't as there is a hidden lock-in in the T+Cs, you need to give 60 days' notice. Legal but shady, we renewed and then immediately gave notice for next year. They used to be good not so now. Find another supplier, these guys are sharks. Helped delivery to MS-based email.

Unique Email Security Features, But Reporting Needs Improvement
3.5 / 5
The easydmarc platform offers some features that many major email security companies do not provide, such as managed DMARC and managed DKIM. It also includes support for BIMI and MTA-STS. The reporting section feels quite basic. It would be helpful if there were an AI feature to improve the wording, such as clarifying that after enforcing a DMARC policy set to p=reject, any non-compliant or threat-sending sources will no longer have their messages delivered to the receiver. Easydmarc addresses the visibility challenges that often arise when implementing DMARC. By providing a clear list of sending sources, separated into compliant and non-compliant sections, it allows us to identify legitimate senders within our organization—even those that might not be known to the IT department. Additionally, the platform simplifies the process of implementing BIMI and MTA-STS, making it possible to set them up with just a few clicks.

Good for Beginners in Deliverability...Could be Better for Pros
2.0 / 5
Setting up Dashboards to monitor all deliverability metrics. Support is okay, but it could be lot better. Navigational aids are not comparable to other industry-rated tools. New to the deliverability landscape, this tool is perfect for you, but if you are an industry pro and understand the ins and outs of deliverability I would look elsewhere. Improving inbox placement. Lowering spam complaints.

Great for MSPs, but Frequent Updates and Manual DNS Changes Add Complexity
4.0 / 5
Multi-tenanted and easy to use for MSP to deploy managed DMARC for customers. The platform keeps adding more features, and I find myself needing to learn how to deploy all of them. It also requires me to make manual changes through DNS, which adds another step to the process. DMARC and SPF management consolidated for all customers in a single console.

Review after using more than 2 months
2.5 / 5
Able to help in domain and IP blacklisted daily checking. Quick display the domain reputation status. After using Inbox placement service and domains/IP pools, feel their interface is nice and clear. Does not provide the IP or domain score with ISP like Hotmail and Yahoo. Inbox percentage in accurate due to need send to all seed's ISP just able to get the score. Inbox percentage for Hotmail does not accurate. Does not provide whitelisting service for IPs. It is just a simple domain blacklisting status system. None of the problem have been solving through this Everest. It just a inbox placement display system only. Easily noticed on domain blacklisted only. Other than this are nothing.

One of the best UI for analyzing millions of emails
4.0 / 5
The UI was the top among the competitors. It makes DMARC analysing task to be very easy. The other tools' interface was very complex compared to EasyDMARC. The support team is also very attentive and they are very quick. Their current infrastructure is not enough for the current workload and they are transitioning a new infrastructure to solve this issue which is temporarily. They dont have sub-domain categorization to classify all the sub-domains for their intended purpose. However, they informed that this feature request is on their roadmap. Other than these, there is actually nothing that I can think of being a task-blocker for my daily operation. To analyze our large landscape of our email providers that are used for campaings, transactional emails, system notification emails. We are also interested to continuiosly monitor the malicious actors that impersonates our email domains. One of the best use case of DMARC analyzers is to provice a large overview to fix all email records if a domain is missing them like SPF, DKIM and DMARC DNS records.

It's been really difficult to switch over to Everest from Return Path due to seedlist testing issues
2.5 / 5
I like the accessibility to create dashboards and share across the org. The only downside was that it was extremely difficult to switch over to everest from return path due to seedlisting issues mainly from our ESP, Braze. Mainly using everest for deliverability measurement. havent had the chance to use it for more since we've been spending a lot of time switching platforms.

Easy enough to use for someone who is not familiar with DMARC
4.0 / 5
Its an incredibly straight forward product. There is managed DMARC, BIMI, and MTA-STS that once added to DNS can be configured quickly! Additionally their customer support is top knotch. I created a ticket, was contacted within 10 minutes, and they answered all my questions. This is likely not something they can do based on DNS limitations, but I'd like to see a managed DKIM option if at all possible. My company had no DMARC policy in place. This was causing some of our business emails to end up in spam as well as finding spam companies somehow using our domain. While I haven't configured our policy to reject yet, its made the process to get to there much easier.

So far not so good
3.0 / 5
We've been working on setting up since mid-August, but due to issues on the platform side, have been unable to fully set up. That said, our account manager has been responsive and diligently working on getting the issues resolved, so I would say that the user support is the best part. We're on our third month trying to get set up due to platform issues, which I think is not great considering the price. Return Path set up went much smoother, and we were able to get started right away without a hitch. Prepare for a longer-than-estimated setup process. Monitoring email deliverability is of utmost importance to our business. Being able to see when things take a turn for the worse and being able to react quickly helps us keep our email reputation positive and keeps our emails in user's inboxes!
