Everest is a robust, all-encompassing platform. It goes far beyond mere DMARC reporting, integrating a full suite of deliverability tools. We are talking about sender reputation monitoring, inbox placement testing, email validation, design tests, and competitive intelligence. It's designed to give a 360-degree view of your email program's health.
For DMARC specifically, Everest provides detailed aggregated (RUA) and forensic (RUF) reports. It processes XML data into an easily digestible format, helping us identify authentication failures and potential spoofing attempts across all sending sources. The insights are granular, allowing us to pinpoint issues and take corrective actions with confidence.
The DMARC report viewer is a much simpler beast. It's an open-source tool primarily focused on parsing DMARC aggregate XML reports. Its core functionality is to transform those often-intimidating XML files into a more readable format, typically with basic charts and tables that display DMARC compliance over time and by sending source.
What it offers is straightforward DMARC visualization, which is invaluable for understanding your DMARC data without the need for manual XML parsing. However, it's essential to recognize its limitations, as it doesn't extend into the broader deliverability landscape that commercial platforms typically cover. It's a viewer, not a proactive management tool.

How easy is each product to use
User experience
DMARC report viewer
Navigating Everest is generally a smooth experience. The interface is modern and visually appealing, with customizable dashboards that allow us to focus on the metrics most relevant to our operations. The learning curve can be steep due to the sheer volume of features, but once we are accustomed to the layout, data retrieval and analysis become efficient.
Despite its complexity, Everest makes an effort to guide users, offering clear visualisations and reporting options. We found that setting up initial monitoring and reports requires some time and understanding of email protocols, but the output is comprehensive and actionable. It's built for power users who appreciate deep insights.
The DMARC report viewer, being an open-source project, presents a different user experience. It's functional rather than flashy. Installation and setup require technical expertise, as it's a self-hosted solution. Once configured, the interface is minimalist, displaying the parsed DMARC data in basic tables and graphs.
Ease of use for DMARC report viewer hinges on our comfort with server management and basic coding. It's not a plug-and-play solution for the non-technical user. However, for those with the technical chops, its simplicity means there's less clutter and a direct path to viewing DMARC data without distractions or unnecessary features.

Which product has the best support
Support
DMARC report viewer
Everest provides dedicated customer success managers and support channels. Our experience suggests that initial onboarding and general queries are handled efficiently. For more technical or intricate issues, response times can vary, but their team generally provides thorough assistance, working to resolve complex deliverability challenges.
The level of support is commensurate with a premium platform. We found that having access to experts who understand the nuances of email deliverability is a significant advantage, especially when dealing with critical sending issues that impact inbox placement. They are there to help us navigate the platform's extensive features effectively.
As an open-source project, the DMARC report viewer relies on community support. This means there's no official vendor support line or dedicated customer success team. We would need to troubleshoot issues ourselves, consult documentation on GitHub, or engage with the open-source community for help.
While community support can be robust for popular projects, it's not guaranteed, nor is it typically as immediate or personalized as commercial support. For users less comfortable with self-help or those managing critical email infrastructure, the lack of formal support is a significant consideration. It's a DIY approach to DMARC reporting.

Who should use each product
Suitability
DMARC report viewer
Everest is best suited for organizations that treat email as a critical business channel and require comprehensive insights beyond just DMARC. This includes enterprise-level senders, large marketing teams, and MSPs (managed service providers) looking to offer robust deliverability services to their clients. Its multi-tenancy capabilities are beneficial for agencies.
For SMBs (small and medium businesses), Everest's 'Elements' tier offers some value, but the full suite of features and associated cost might be an overkill if DMARC is their only concern. It shines for those needing to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize every aspect of their email deliverability, especially when high sending volumes are involved.
The DMARC report viewer is ideal for technically proficient individuals or small organizations with tight budgets who only need basic DMARC reporting functionality. It's particularly suitable for those who are comfortable with self-hosting, server management, and are willing to take on the responsibility of maintenance and updates.
It's generally not suitable for enterprise-level organizations or MSPs managing many clients, as it lacks the scalability, advanced features, consolidated reporting, and dedicated support required for such operations. For SMBs with minimal DMARC needs and strong technical resources, it can be a cost-effective way to gain visibility into DMARC compliance.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for
Everest, while powerful, can be prohibitively expensive for smaller teams or those with limited budgets. Its comprehensive nature also means a steeper learning curve, and some users report inconsistent support or accuracy issues with specific features like inbox placement for certain ISPs. The DMARC report viewer's main drawback is its inherent simplicity, requiring significant technical effort for setup and ongoing management. It offers no proactive monitoring, alerts, or advanced features, placing the burden of analysis and action squarely on our shoulders.
We have pulled the average ratings from G2 for each product, and also included the most recent negative reviews for each product in full. Positive reviews tend to have less detail and have a higher chance of being fraudulent, so negative reviews are a better signal for your decision.

Shady sales practice shoot down ok software - don't use these guys
0.5 / 5
What do you like best about Everest?
The software is decent and the validation program works for Microsoft (Hotmail etc) based email, but not for Gmail
What do you dislike about Everest?
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.
Recommendations to others considering Everest:
Find another supplier, these guys are sharks

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.
What problems is Everest solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.

It's been really difficult to switch over to Everest from Return Path due to seedlist testing issues
2.5 / 5
What do you like best about Everest?
I like the accessibility to create dashboards and share across the org.
What do you dislike about Everest?
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
What problems is Everest solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.

So far not so good
3.0 / 5
What do you like best about Everest?
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.
What do you dislike about Everest?
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.
Recommendations to others considering Everest:
Prepare for a longer-than-estimated setup process.
What problems is Everest solving and how is that benefiting you?
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!
