Mail Tower provides a solid foundation for DMARC reporting and analysis. We found its core strength lies in aggregating and visualizing DMARC data, allowing users to quickly identify email authentication issues across their domains. It effectively breaks down reports into digestible charts and graphs, making it easier to understand SPF, DKIM, and DMARC compliance rates.
Beyond the basics, Mail Tower offers tools for domain management, helping us track which domains are under DMARC protection and their current policy. It focuses squarely on DMARC, ensuring that every feature is geared towards helping you achieve and maintain DMARC enforcement.
SendForensics, while offering DMARC reporting, positions itself more broadly as an email deliverability platform. We experienced firsthand its comprehensive suite of tools that go beyond DMARC, including spam testing, inbox placement, and content analysis. This wider scope means it helps address the full spectrum of factors influencing whether an email reaches the inbox.
Its DMARC reporting is capable, providing good insights into authentication. However, where SendForensics truly shines is in its deliverability features, giving us a holistic view of email performance. It helps us optimize email campaigns by flagging content issues and monitoring reputation, which is incredibly useful for active senders.
How easy is each product to use

User experience

When we first used Mail Tower, we found the interface to be clean and straightforward, focusing on presenting DMARC data without unnecessary clutter. The navigation is intuitive, making it easy to jump between different domains and report types. Its dashboards are designed for quick scanning, which is great for busy professionals.
Setting up domains and DMARC records felt relatively painless. We appreciated the clear instructions provided for DNS configurations, which can often be a stumbling block. The overall impression is one of efficiency, allowing us to get to the core DMARC insights rapidly.
SendForensics offers a robust, yet generally intuitive, user interface, though its broader feature set can sometimes lead to a steeper learning curve initially. We noted that while DMARC data is well-presented, its strength lies in the deliverability testing workflows. Navigating between DMARC reports, spam tests, and inbox placement tools requires a bit more familiarity.
Some users have reported occasional lag and glitches, and we've observed that email previews with flagged content sometimes do not render. Despite these minor issues, once we became accustomed to the layout, we found it effective for managing various aspects of email health.
Which product has the best support

Support

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Our interactions with Mail Tower's support team have generally been positive. They appear to have a good grasp of DMARC intricacies, which is essential for a product so focused on this specific area. Responses are typically clear and provide actionable advice for resolving DMARC-related issues.
The platform also includes useful documentation and guides that can help users troubleshoot common problems before needing to contact support. We found this self-service option valuable for quick resolutions to minor queries.
SendForensics provides support that covers its wide range of features, from DMARC to deliverability testing. We found their guide section particularly helpful, answering many common questions quickly. However, direct support response times can vary, with some users reporting a few hours to a few days for ticket resolution.
While the team is knowledgeable across their offerings, the breadth of features means that specialized DMARC-only issues might sometimes require more specific guidance. We suggest leveraging their existing documentation for faster answers to general queries.
Who should use each product

Suitability

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Mail Tower is highly suitable for organizations primarily focused on DMARC implementation and enforcement. Its specialized nature makes it an excellent choice for businesses that need precise control and reporting on email authentication without the added complexity of broader deliverability tools. It's a strong contender for SMBs and even enterprises prioritizing DMARC.
For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Mail Tower offers a streamlined way to manage DMARC for multiple clients. Its focus on DMARC makes it easy to integrate into existing security stacks. While it doesn't offer extensive multi-tenancy features explicitly, its clear reporting for individual domains can be managed efficiently for a portfolio of clients.
SendForensics is best suited for organizations that send a high volume of emails and require comprehensive deliverability insights in addition to DMARC. This includes marketing teams, e-commerce businesses, and enterprises where email campaign success directly impacts revenue. Its tools for pre-send testing and content analysis are invaluable for optimizing email performance.
MSPs serving clients with active email marketing efforts would find SendForensics beneficial, especially with its usage quotas and data segmentation capabilities. It offers good value for businesses, from SMBs to enterprises, that need a more holistic view of their email ecosystem, beyond just DMARC compliance.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

Mail Tower, while strong on DMARC, may not be the ideal choice if you need broader email deliverability features like spam testing or inbox placement. Its reporting is DMARC-centric, which might require integrating with other tools for a complete picture of email health. SendForensics, on the other hand, occasionally experiences interface lag and inconsistent support response times, as reported by users. While it offers a wide array of deliverability features, the user experience can sometimes be less fluid, and some flagged content previews may not render correctly.
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.

Increase your email deliverability with Send Forensics
What do you like best about SendForensics? Easy to use, interface is intuitive to navigate, our whole team can access and use the product with a single sign-on. There is no limit to the number of email tests you can send to Send Forensics to test, so it is not an issue to test every single campaign prior to launch to maximize deliverability. What do you dislike about SendForensics? Lag time has been an issue in the past - emails not rendering in Send Forensics has slowed down my work flow. Support team response has varied from a few hours to a few days to respond to a ticket. Also flags items within email template that are required by CANSPAM law, like our physical mailing address. Also can be glitchy, where previews of emails with flagged content does not render. What problems is SendForensics solving and how is that benefiting you? We run all our emails through Send Forensics prior to launch, to catch spammy words/copy and to improve the likelihood that our emails will reach inboxes of our customers.

SendForensics Review - How it helped us test and get to inboxes
What do you like best about SendForensics? I like that it shows keywords that we can change flagged words to, similar words that you can update and exact content issues. I also like the live inbox placement testing. It also tells you if you should go ahead and send or make some changes and optimize. Send Forensics has different sections that they look at - vocabulary and copywriting, coding and layout, link quality and data collection. Most of our issues fall under the vocab and copywriting/content. The support and the guide section is also really helpful and most of the things we have questions on get answered pretty quickly there. It also is a good price for the service that you get. We looked and did free trials for a lot of companies, and feel Send Forensics gives you a lot of what we needed for a very reasonable price. What do you dislike about SendForensics? You really have to learn to use it and see the correct patterns. Sometimes we will test something and change what they told us to, and when we retest we are hitting less inboxes or getting a lower deliverability than before. Lots of trial and error. Recommendations to others considering SendForensics: Do the free trial, test it out and make sure it works for you first. But if you want to fully see what it can do, pay the low price of $49 a month and do some testing. You will likely get some insights you were not receiving before and it'll help you out moving forward with getting into inboxes. What problems is SendForensics solving and how is that benefiting you? With our current mailing system, we weren't seeing inbox placement and spam score testing. So this is helping a lot by telling us whether the main providers or not would have it fall into the inbox or spam folder. We've come to realize some words that are flagged so we can make the changes before even testing it in Send Forensics, so you do learn a pattern about how these things work. Send Forensics even goes as far as to show you your reputation, deliverability score, blacklists, errors, etc.

Valuable tool that everyone serious with email marketing should use
What do you like best about SendForensics? SendForensics gives you a lot of information regarding your emails, without this tool you would have to use several other tools to be able to view all the information, and it would be much harder to do any real analysis of your “email health”. What do you dislike about SendForensics? I would like more details, especially regarding errors found in “Vocabulary & Copywriting” and “Coding & Layout”. Recommendations to others considering SendForensics: Run the trial and spend an hour investigating, you can quickly see if this is a tool for you. What problems is SendForensics solving and how is that benefiting you? Email marketing is difficult to succeed with, doesn't matter how much money we throw at it. SendForensics enables us to trim and adjust our email campaigns so that we get the maximum possible return on our investment. It's so much faster to find out how to improve our email campaigns with SendForensics.
