Glockapps offers a broad suite of email deliverability features, with DMARC monitoring being a key component. Beyond just DMARC, we found its spam testing, IP reputation monitoring, and content analysis tools to be very robust. It provides a holistic view of email health, which is beneficial for senders looking to optimize their entire email program.
The platform's DMARC reporting is comprehensive, presenting data in an understandable format. It excels at identifying authentication issues (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and helps visualize email flows. While not solely a DMARC tool, its integration of DMARC alongside other critical metrics makes it a powerful option for ensuring emails reach the inbox.
DMARC-SRG is a specialized DMARC report parser, viewer, and summary report generator built with PHP. Its primary function is to process raw DMARC aggregate reports (XML files) and present them in a more human-readable format. For those who prefer a self-hosted solution, it offers fundamental DMARC insights directly from their own servers.
We observed that its feature set is tightly focused on DMARC data processing. It provides breakdowns of DMARC authentication results, sources, and policies. It lacks the broader email deliverability features found in commercial platforms but delivers on its core promise of DMARC report summarization for technically inclined users.

How easy is each product to use
User experience
DMARC-SRG
Glockapps presents a modern, dashboard-centric interface that is generally intuitive for users familiar with email analytics. While it offers a wide array of features, the navigation is well-structured, allowing us to delve into specific reports or see an overall health score quickly.
However, with its extensive functionality, there can be a learning curve for beginners to fully grasp all the metrics and optimization strategies. The setup process for DMARC reporting involves standard DNS record configuration, and the platform guides users through interpreting the results effectively.
DMARC-SRG, being a self-hosted PHP application, requires a degree of technical proficiency for installation and ongoing management. Its user experience is less about a polished graphical interface and more about direct data presentation from the parsed XML reports. We found it to be functional, but certainly not as aesthetically refined as SaaS alternatives.
Once installed, navigating the reports is straightforward for those accustomed to raw data and summary tables. The experience is command-line or basic web UI driven, which appeals to developers or system administrators who prefer direct control and minimal abstraction, but might be daunting for less technical users.

Which product has the best support
Support
DMARC-SRG
Glockapps offers customer support primarily through online channels, including a knowledge base, email, and sometimes live chat. We found that responses can be thorough, though reaching a human by phone might be challenging, as some users have noted. This type of support structure is typical for SaaS platforms.
For DMARC-related queries or interpreting deliverability reports, the support team is generally knowledgeable. While the self-service resources are helpful, more complex issues might require patience for detailed email exchanges.
DMARC-SRG, as an open-source project, relies on community support and self-help. There is no dedicated customer support team. Users typically find assistance through the GitHub repository, documentation, or by troubleshooting issues themselves. This means that users must be comfortable with independent problem-solving.
We understand that this model is inherent to open-source software, but it's a significant consideration for those accustomed to commercial product support. Technical users capable of debugging PHP applications or interpreting log files will fare best if they encounter issues.

Who should use each product
Suitability
DMARC-SRG
Glockapps is highly suitable for SMBs and enterprise clients who require comprehensive email deliverability monitoring beyond just DMARC. Its integrated spam testing, blocklist (blacklist) monitoring, and DMARC analysis provide a one-stop solution for maintaining email health. MSPs can also leverage its multi-domain capabilities to manage client accounts.
We believe it's an excellent choice for marketing teams, email managers, and agencies prioritizing inbox placement and needing actionable insights across their email campaigns. Its managed service aspect removes the burden of self-hosting and constant maintenance.
DMARC-SRG is best suited for individuals or organizations with strong technical capabilities, such as system administrators or developers, who prefer to self-host their solutions. It's ideal for those seeking a free, open-source DMARC report parsing tool and have the resources to deploy and maintain a PHP application.
It is less suitable for SMBs or enterprises looking for a plug-and-play solution with integrated support. MSPs might consider it if they have internal development teams to customize and manage it for clients, but it wouldn't be a typical off-the-shelf solution for them.
Glockapps, while feature-rich, has faced criticism regarding its pricing adjustments and payment verification policies, which can be seen as intrusive. For DMARC-SRG, the main drawback is its inherent nature as a self-hosted, open-source tool, demanding significant technical skill for setup and maintenance, and lacking dedicated professional support.

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,...)

Glockapps offers tiered annual and monthly plans with a significant discount for annual billing, starting with a free tier and scaling up for higher DMARC message volumes, whereas DMARC-SRG is an open-source tool, free to use, but requires self-hosting and management.
