GoDMARC excels in providing a focused DMARC reporting and management platform. We found its core strength lies in detailed aggregate and forensic reports, offering deep visibility into email authentication results and potential threats.
Beyond DMARC, GoDMARC also includes features like IP threat intelligence, look-alike domain alerts, and MTA-TLS reporting, which are crucial for a robust email security posture. Its instant email analyzer and blocklist (blacklist) checks are handy additions.
Everest, on the other hand, presents itself as a more encompassing email success platform, extending beyond DMARC to cover a wide array of deliverability aspects. Its feature set includes reputation monitoring, inbox placement testing, and email validations.
While Everest does provide DMARC insights, its primary focus is on optimizing overall email program performance. Features like design tests, engagement analytics, and competitive intelligence are geared towards marketers and large-volume senders, making it a broader tool than just DMARC reporting.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
From our experience, GoDMARC offers a straightforward and intuitive user interface. Setting up DMARC records and navigating reports is quite simple, even for those with limited technical expertise.
The dashboards provide clear visibility into DMARC compliance, sources, and threats. While some advanced features might require a deeper dive, the day-to-day use for monitoring DMARC is generally user-friendly.
Everest presents a more comprehensive platform, which can initially feel overwhelming due to the sheer volume of features and data. However, its customizable dashboards help in tailoring the view to specific needs.
We found that while core functions like inbox placement and reputation monitoring are accessible, fully leveraging all of Everest's capabilities might require a steeper learning curve, especially for new users or those less familiar with broad email deliverability concepts. The navigation can sometimes be a bit clunky, as noted by some users.
Which product has the best support
Support
GoDMARC offers chat support across all plans, with email support added for paid tiers, and dedicated support available for enterprise customers. From our interactions, the support team is responsive and knowledgeable about DMARC specifics.
Users often highlight the GoDMARC team's expertise in email security, which is a significant advantage when dealing with complex DMARC implementation or troubleshooting.
Everest provides customer success managers for support, though the quality can vary. Some users praise the responsiveness and helpfulness, while others express concerns about slower technical support or difficulties after company acquisitions.
We've observed that getting technical questions resolved can sometimes take longer. While there's a good team available, the broader scope of Everest's features can lead to more diverse and potentially complex support queries.
Who should use each product
Suitability
GoDMARC is highly suitable for organizations primarily focused on DMARC implementation and enforcement, from small businesses to large enterprises. Its dedicated DMARC features make it ideal for security teams.
For MSPs, GoDMARC offers multi-user capabilities, allowing management of multiple client domains effectively. It's particularly strong for those who need in-depth DMARC insights without the broader deliverability suite that might come with other tools. SMBs benefit from the free plan for basic DMARC monitoring.
Everest is best suited for email marketers and larger enterprises that require a holistic view of their email program's success. It's a robust platform for managing deliverability, engagement, and sender reputation comprehensively.
MSPs can leverage its multi-user capabilities, though its pricing might be a consideration for smaller clients. Enterprise and mid-market companies that prioritize inbox placement, list validation, and competitive intelligence alongside DMARC insights will find Everest more aligned with their needs. It is less tailored for SMBs focused solely on DMARC.

GoDMARC's main drawback is its lower limit for passive domain reporting, which might not scale well for very high-volume senders, even on paid plans. While Everest offers a comprehensive suite, we've noted concerns around its setup complexity and inconsistent support experiences, which can be challenging for users.
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 What problems is Everest solving and how is that benefiting you? Helped delivery to MS-based email

Good for Beginners in Deliverability...Could be Better for Pros
2.0 / 5
What do you like best about Everest? Setting up Dashboards to monitor all deliverability metrics What do you dislike about Everest? Support is okay, but it could be lot better Navigational aids are not comparable to other industry-rated tools. Recommendations to others considering Everest: 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. What problems is Everest solving and how is that benefiting you? Improving inbox placement Lowering spam complaints

What do you like best about Everest? 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. What do you dislike about Everest? 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!

GoDMARC offers a generous free plan and clear tiered pricing for DMARC-focused features, while Everest's pricing starts higher, reflecting its broader suite of email deliverability tools, often requiring sales contact for full transparency.
