Glockapps provides a robust suite for overall email deliverability, with DMARC monitoring being one component among many. We found its DMARC reporting to be thorough, offering insights into authentication results, sending sources, and potential spoofing attempts.
Beyond DMARC, Glockapps shines with its spam testing, blocklist (blacklist) monitoring, and IP reputation checks. It's a comprehensive tool that gives a holistic view of email health, which can be particularly useful for those managing diverse sending environments.
DMARC SaaS, as its name suggests, is hyper-focused on DMARC, providing a streamlined platform dedicated solely to DMARC reporting and enforcement. Its interface is designed to make DMARC data understandable and actionable.
We observed that DMARC SaaS offers clear visualization of DMARC aggregate and forensic reports, helping users identify unauthorized senders and move towards DMARC enforcement. While it lacks the broader deliverability tools of Glockapps, its specialization makes it effective for DMARC-centric needs.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
When diving into Glockapps, we found the sheer volume of features could be a bit overwhelming initially. The dashboard presents a lot of information, which is excellent for experienced users, but newcomers might need some time to navigate through all the options, from spam testing to DMARC reports.
However, once we became familiar with the layout, the insights provided were very valuable. The DMARC reports themselves are well-structured, allowing for drill-downs into specific data points, though it requires a bit of learning to fully leverage its capabilities.
DMARC SaaS offers a more focused user experience due to its singular DMARC focus. The interface felt clean and intuitive, making it relatively straightforward to set up and start analyzing DMARC data, even for those with limited DMARC knowledge.
The visualizations for DMARC aggregate reports are particularly clear, helping to quickly identify sending sources and authentication failures. This streamlined approach means less clutter and a quicker path to understanding your DMARC posture, which we appreciated during our evaluation.
Which product has the best support
Support
From our interactions, Glockapps provides support primarily through email and a knowledge base. While the knowledge base is comprehensive, we noted that direct human interaction, especially via phone, can sometimes be challenging, with calls often going to voicemail.
However, when we did connect, the support staff were knowledgeable, especially regarding the technical aspects of email deliverability and how to interpret their detailed reports. It's functional, but perhaps less immediate for urgent issues.
DMARC SaaS emphasizes a partner-managed approach, which often means support is channeled through a dedicated account manager or a partner network, especially for their higher-tier plans. This can be beneficial for larger organizations needing hands-on guidance.
For direct inquiries, DMARC SaaS typically offers email support. While we didn't have extensive direct interactions, the nature of their service suggests a proactive, consultative approach for their partner-managed offerings, which could be a significant plus for complex deployments.
Who should use each product
Suitability
Glockapps is well-suited for a broad range of users, from SMBs looking for comprehensive email health checks to enterprises needing deep dives into deliverability metrics, including DMARC, SPF, DKIM, and blocklist (blacklist) monitoring. Its extensive feature set makes it a strong contender for anyone prioritizing overall email performance.
For MSPs, Glockapps offers multi-user capabilities, allowing different team members to manage various aspects of clients' email deliverability. While it doesn't explicitly market as an MSP platform, its breadth of features can support managing multiple domains and IPs, although without dedicated multi-tenancy features like client separation in reports.
DMARC SaaS is ideal for organizations of all sizes primarily focused on DMARC implementation and enforcement. SMBs can benefit from its ease of use in getting DMARC deployed, while enterprises can leverage its specialized reporting for large-scale domain protection. It's a focused tool for a specific security challenge.
MSPs would find DMARC SaaS particularly appealing due to its 'Partner Managed DMARC' offering, which is explicitly designed for managing multiple client domains. This structure allows MSPs to efficiently deploy and monitor DMARC for their entire client portfolio, making it a strong fit for their business model and a clear advantage for multi-tenancy needs.

Good Software, immoral practice
0.5 / 5
What do you like best about GlockApps?
Good software with great email delivery analysis. To be able to test on a freemium and see if it land into the inbox of Gmail, Outlook and other accounts is great. The analysis feature detects most of the issues.
What do you dislike about GlockApps?
Their email delivery consulting service is a scam, they advertise a money-back guarantee, and during the consultation, they only try to upsell you instead of giving the right solution. They don't provide the invoice for the purchase, and even when asked multiple times, they ghost you as soon as you request the money-back garantee. Also, their email delivery analytics does not detect link issues with Microsoft accounts.
What problems is GlockApps solving and how is that benefiting you?
It help detect email delivery issue, used it to detect why email did not landed into microsoft account. I wasn't able to find the real reason with Glockapps but it helps to know if the email were delivered or not into Microsoft email accounts (hotmail, outlook,...)
