Everest is a comprehensive email success platform, encompassing much more than just DMARC reporting. While it does offer DMARC capabilities, we found its strength lies in its broader deliverability insights, including inbox placement, reputation monitoring, and email testing. It's designed to give a holistic view of email performance.
We noticed that Everest integrates various data sources, like Google Postmaster Tools and SNDS, into a unified dashboard, which is incredibly useful for a complete picture. However, its DMARC features, while present, are often part of a larger suite rather than a dedicated, deeply specialized DMARC focus.
ProDMARC, on the other hand, is laser-focused on DMARC management and email authentication. Its features are built specifically to help organizations deploy, monitor, and enforce DMARC policies. We found it provides detailed RUA data and forensic reporting, which is crucial for identifying and mitigating email spoofing and phishing attempts.
The platform emphasizes visibility into sending sources, compliance checks, and automated actions for DMARC enforcement. It's a specialized tool that excels at what it does, offering robust features for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment, and helping users move to a strict DMARC policy with confidence.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
Everest presents a clear interface with customizable dashboards that we found helpful for monitoring various deliverability metrics. Its navigation can be extensive due to the sheer volume of features, which some users might find a bit overwhelming initially. It's a powerful tool, but mastering it takes time.
We appreciated the ability to create and share dashboards, which aids in organizational collaboration. However, transitioning to Everest, especially from older platforms like Return Path, can sometimes involve seedlist testing issues and a longer setup process, as some users have noted.
ProDMARC boasts a highly intuitive dashboard and a user-friendly console. We found it streamlined the DMARC monitoring process, making it accessible even for those without deep technical DMARC expertise. The platform focuses on presenting DMARC data in an easy-to-understand manner.
The setup process for DMARC records and policy enforcement is designed to be simple, with quick and flawless data display. While the interface is generally well-received, some feedback suggests that advanced policy customization could be more flexible, and the visual representation of graphs might benefit from further enhancement.
Which product has the best support
Support
Everest's support experience, in our assessment, can be a mixed bag. While some users praise account managers for being responsive and diligently working to resolve issues, others have reported historical issues after acquisitions, though recent feedback suggests improvements.
We found that technical questions sometimes take longer to clarify, and the onboarding experience could benefit from more personalized, hands-on guidance, especially given the platform's complexity. The availability of customer success managers is a significant plus, but consistency across all support interactions may vary.
ProDMARC receives consistently high marks for its customer support. We frequently encountered praise for the team's prompt responsiveness, clarity, and proactive assistance. Users highlight immediate actions taken for issues and excellent reachability, often describing the team as skilled and very helpful.
The support team is described as solution-oriented and readily available, which significantly enhances the overall product experience. This strong emphasis on customer service appears to be a core strength, ensuring smooth DMARC monitoring and quick resolution of any alignment issues.
Who should use each product
Suitability
Everest is highly suitable for enterprise and mid-market organizations that require an all-encompassing email success platform. If your needs extend beyond DMARC to include broad deliverability monitoring, inbox placement testing, IP reputation, and email content testing, Everest offers a powerful, integrated solution.
For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Everest's extensive features could be valuable for managing multiple client domains, though the cost and complexity might require significant investment in training and setup. Small to medium businesses (SMBs) might find it overly robust and expensive if their primary need is solely DMARC compliance.
ProDMARC is an excellent choice for organizations of all sizes, from SMBs to enterprise, that prioritize robust DMARC enforcement and email authentication. If your core focus is to combat email spoofing, phishing, and ensure DMARC, SPF, and DKIM alignment, ProDMARC provides a dedicated and effective solution.
MSPs would find ProDMARC beneficial for quickly onboarding clients and managing their DMARC policies due to its user-friendly interface and strong support. Its specialized nature makes it ideal for businesses seeking a focused tool to protect their domain's email security and reputation without the overhead of broader deliverability features they might not need.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for
When considering Everest, we noted potential drawbacks such as perceived opaque sales practices related to renewals, leading to lock-in concerns. The platform's complexity can also lead to a steeper learning curve and a longer-than-expected setup process, particularly for those new to comprehensive deliverability tools. While broad, some users find its performance for specific ISPs like Gmail or Yahoo to be less effective, and its DMARC features are not as singularly focused as specialized tools. ProDMARC's main areas for improvement, based on feedback, include the desire for more flexible policy customization options for advanced users and enhancements to the visual presentation of its dashboard graphs. Some users also wish for inbound traffic monitoring capabilities to round out its security offerings.
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
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.

Great Support and DMARC management
4.5 / 5
What I like best is its intuitive dashboard and automated reporting, which make it easy to monitor DMARC compliance across domains. Some advanced users may find the policy customization options less flexible compared to manual DMARC implementations. It simplifies policy enforcement and helps strengthen email security with minimal effort. A great tool for any organization looking to improve email trust and deliverability.

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.

Received very positive feedback from our end customers regarding the product and service quality.
4.5 / 5
Previous Response: The customer support team provides immediate responses, which I really appreciate. Previous Response: The pricing in this region is not competitive. As a result, customers and partners are considering alternative options to find more affordable solutions. Visibility and security of the Domain's

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.

Consolidated ProDMARC Reports including Compliance and Weekly Failure Reports without Deep analysis of forensic report RUF is required. 1. It enables DMARC enforcement and reject spoofed emails. 2. Helps in providing centralized dashboard. 3. Monitoring of emails on behalf of us. 4. Helps in compliance checks and notifying if mails are getting delivered/passed/failed through either SPF or DKIM.

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. haven't 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
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!

Improved our email security posture with seamless implementation and reliable support
4.5 / 5
ProDMARC’s intuitive interface and proactive support make DMARC implementation and monitoring effortless and effective. While ProDMARC offers excellent functionality, the initial configuration process could be more streamlined for quicker onboarding. ProDMARC helps us combat email spoofing and phishing by enforcing DMARC policies effectively. This has significantly improved our domain reputation, reduced fraudulent email risks, and enhanced overall email security.
