Everest offers a deep dive into email deliverability. Its suite includes robust DMARC reporting capabilities, allowing users to analyze authentication data from various sources. We find its strength lies in providing actionable insights into inbox placement, reputation, and sender performance, helping to identify and resolve issues quickly.
Beyond DMARC, Everest integrates other deliverability tools like email validation, seed list testing, and design previews. It's a comprehensive platform for understanding why emails land in the inbox (or the spam folder), and how to improve those rates.
Nameshield, while offering DMARC, positions itself more broadly as a domain name management and brand protection service. Its DMARC features are present and functional, providing visibility into email authentication, but without the granular deliverability analysis that Everest provides. We see it as a strong tool for foundational email security alongside broader domain protection.
The platform focuses on preventing domain abuse, managing DNS, and securing online presence through services like DNSSEC and domain locking. For organizations primarily concerned with the integrity of their domain and basic email authentication, Nameshield delivers a solid, albeit less specialized, solution.
How easy is each product to use

User experience

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Navigating Everest, we noticed a generally intuitive interface, especially with its customizable dashboards. It allows us to tailor the view to our specific needs, which is quite helpful given the breadth of data it presents. The platform feels well-designed for email professionals who are accustomed to analyzing complex metrics.
However, some users have noted a learning curve due to the sheer volume of information and features. While powerful, getting to grips with all its functionalities can take time. Setting up integrations also occasionally presents initial hurdles, though once configured, the system generally runs smoothly.
Nameshield presents a clean, user-friendly web design, particularly for basic domain registration and DNS management. We found that its core functions are easily accessible, making it straightforward for users primarily focused on those aspects. For standard DMARC setup, it's also quite manageable.
Where complexity can arise is with managing a very large number of domains, which can become cumbersome without advanced bulk management tools. While it's generally easy to use for its primary functions, users seeking advanced email security reporting might find the interface less detailed than desired, reflecting its broader domain management focus.
Which product has the best support

Support

Everest often receives praise for its responsive account managers and customer success teams. Our experience suggests that they are quite diligent in helping users resolve issues and understand the platform, particularly during the onboarding phase. This personalized support can be invaluable when dealing with the intricacies of email deliverability.
However, some reviews point to historical inconsistencies in support quality, especially after changes in ownership. While recent feedback indicates improvement, some technical questions can still take longer to resolve. The general sentiment is that while initial setup assistance is strong, ongoing technical depth can vary.
Nameshield's customer support receives mixed feedback from users. Some clients report delays or difficulties in resolving issues, suggesting a need for improvement in responsiveness. When dealing with critical domain security matters, prompt support is paramount, and this appears to be an area where consistency could be enhanced.
On the other hand, for straightforward domain management tasks, the support can be effective. We found that the team is capable, but perhaps under-resourced or less geared towards rapid, complex troubleshooting, especially for clients unfamiliar with advanced domain configurations.
Who should use each product

Suitability

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Everest is ideal for email marketing professionals, deliverability consultants, and larger organizations (mid-market to enterprise) that heavily rely on email as a communication channel. It’s particularly suitable for those who need deep insights into inbox placement, sender reputation, and DMARC compliance to optimize their email performance.
For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and enterprises, Everest offers the comprehensive toolkit required to manage multiple client domains and ensure high deliverability standards across various campaigns. SMBs with a strong focus on email performance could also benefit, especially from its tiered pricing which scales with email volume.
Nameshield is best suited for businesses of all sizes, from SMBs to enterprise, that prioritize comprehensive domain name management, brand protection, and foundational cybersecurity. This includes companies looking to secure their online presence, prevent domain abuse, and manage a portfolio of domain names efficiently.
While it includes DMARC capabilities, its primary strength lies in protecting the domain itself. MSPs managing client domains may find its global reach and integrated domain services appealing, especially if their clients also need a strong focus on brand security beyond just email deliverability.

Both Everest and Nameshield, despite their strengths, come with their own set of potential drawbacks. Everest, while powerful, can be complex to navigate initially due to its comprehensive feature set, and some users have highlighted issues with its API and setup process. Nameshield, on the other hand, is generally easier to use for its core domain management, but its DMARC reporting is less granular, and its support response times have been a point of concern for some.

Shady sales practice shoot down ok software - don't use these guys
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

Good tool!
Nameshield focuses on domain name management, brand protection, and cybersecurity, making it well-suited for businesses looking to protect their online presence. It has a global reach, offering services across various countries, which is beneficial for international businesses. Nameshield offers a range of services including domain name registration, monitoring, recovery, and DNS management. This comprehensive approach helps in managing and protecting brand identity online. heir services can be expensive, particularly for smaller businesses or startups, as they cater more to larger enterprises with extensive domain management needs. The range of services offered can be complex and might require a learning curve for users unfamiliar with domain management and brand protection. I have mixed reviews from the team regarding their customer service, with some clients reporting delays or difficulties in resolving issues. Due to the nature of our work Nameshield helps prevent third parties from registering domain names that are similar to our brands, which could mislead customers or damage our reputation.

Good for Beginners in Deliverability...Could be Better for Pros
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

Domain registration process
The web design of Nameshield is very neat and user-friendly with no unnecessary distractions. It was very easy to register a domain and basic functions related to a domain such as setting the nameservers are easily available. Nameshield suffers from the difficult of efficient management of a large number of domains. This becomes a real headache especially when you are dealing with a number of domain names as may be the case in the following examples. Nameshield is an easy-to-use service at a low price that provides basic domain registration services without any extras. It was able to assist me in purchasing my domain name almost instantly, and the layout of the website is quite self-explanatory.

Review after using more than 2 months
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.

Adequate Domain Protection with Room for Improvement
DNSSEC: The setup was straightforward, and it provides a good layer of protection against DNS hijacking. Domain Lock: A simple yet effective feature to prevent unauthorized transfers. Email Security: The spam filter seems to work decently, but I still get a few suspicious emails slipping through. Customer Support: I had to wait quite a while for a response to my initial support ticket. The issue was eventually resolved, but the wait was frustrating. Limited Features: Compared to other security providers, Nameshield lacks some advanced options like two-factor authentication for domain management. Price: The pricing seems a bit steep for the features offered. Peace of mind: Knowing my domain is protected with DNSSEC and domain lock reduces the risk of losing control over my online presence. Time-saving: The straightforward setup process for these features was efficient. Basic email protection: The spam filter offers some protection against unwanted emails.

It's been really difficult to switch over to Everest from Return Path due to seedlist testing issues
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.

Best For Domain Management.
Nameshield offers robust security features, users might value the peace of mind that comes with protecting their domain names and online assets from various threats such as DNS hijacking or domain hijacking. The environment of the software is very easy to use and handling. It provides featues which can be easily implimented and whenever any stuck in any task they can take support from customer support facility of Nameshield. Although it provide good features but limited. and sometimes we can face issues due to it's complexity. one noteceable thing is the cost of the service. It helps users efficiently manage their domain names by providing tools for registration and dns management. it also protect brand identities.

So far not so good
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!

Reliable Domain Name Management
Nameshield prioritizes the security of domain names and provides various features to protect against unauthorized activities. These include domain locking, two-factor authentication, and DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) implementation. These measures help safeguard domain assets and minimize the risk of domain hijacking or unauthorized transfers. Although Nameshield supports a wide range of popular top-level domains (TLDs), it may have limitations when it comes to less common or country-specific TLDs. Users with specific domain requirements should verify the availability of their desired TLDs within the Nameshield service before committing to the platform. From registration and renewal to DNS management and security features, Nameshield covers all the essential aspects of domain management. Its intuitive interface and well-organized control panel make it easy for users to navigate and perform necessary domain-related tasks.
