MyDMARC is squarely focused on DMARC reporting and management. It provides a clear, concise overview of your DMARC data, helping you understand authentication results for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Its strength lies in its specialized approach, offering tools specifically designed to help users achieve and maintain DMARC enforcement.
We've found MyDMARC's interface effective for isolating DMARC-related issues. It helps pinpoint sources sending mail on your behalf, identify misconfigurations, and guide you through the process of moving from a monitoring policy (p=none) to quarantine or reject (p=quarantine/p=reject). It also offers SPF flattening and Hosted DMARC, which are key for managing complex DNS records.
Everest offers a much broader suite of deliverability features beyond just DMARC. While it includes DMARC reporting, its core strength is providing a holistic view of email program health. This includes inbox placement testing, reputation monitoring across various ISPs, blocklist (or blacklist) checks, and even pre-send design and content testing.
From our experience, Everest provides an extensive toolset for email marketers and deliverability professionals. Its ability to integrate data from Google Postmaster Tools, Microsoft SNDS, and its own seedlist network gives a comprehensive picture. It's built for those who need to optimize every aspect of their email sending, not just DMARC compliance.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
MyDMARC has a straightforward, clean interface. It focuses on presenting DMARC data in an easily digestible format, making it accessible even for users who are new to DMARC. The dashboards prioritize essential metrics, showing DMARC compliance rates, threat detection, and email sources without overwhelming the user.
We appreciate MyDMARC's guided approach to DMARC implementation. It simplifies the often complex process of email authentication, presenting actionable steps to improve compliance. Setting up domains and receiving initial reports is intuitive, allowing for quick insights into your email ecosystem. The navigation is logical and consistent.
Everest, being a more comprehensive platform, naturally has a steeper learning curve than MyDMARC. The sheer volume of features, from inbox placement to competitive intelligence, means that users need to invest time to fully understand and utilize its capabilities. However, its customizable dashboards help tailor the view to specific needs.
Our experience suggests that while Everest can initially feel overwhelming, its interface is designed for power users who require deep dives into various aspects of deliverability. The navigation can sometimes feel a bit scattered due to the breadth of tools, but once accustomed to it, the ability to correlate different data points is powerful. Several users noted issues with navigation in reviews.
Which product has the best support
Support
MyDMARC provides email support across its paid tiers, with priority support for Pro plan users. For a DMARC-focused tool, this level of support is generally adequate, as many DMARC issues can be resolved with clear guidance and documentation.
While we haven't extensively tested their support, the expectation for a specialized tool like MyDMARC is responsive, expert assistance on DMARC-related queries. Their documentation is thorough, which often pre-empts the need for direct support for common issues.
Everest offers customer success managers and various levels of support depending on the plan. Given its extensive feature set and the complexity of deliverability, dedicated support can be crucial for maximizing the platform's value. Several user reviews highlight the importance of their account managers.
However, a recurring theme in user feedback points to inconsistencies in support quality, particularly following the transition from Return Path. Some users have experienced difficulties with technical questions and the renewal process. While good support exists, it appears to vary, with some praising account managers and others noting areas for improvement.
Who should use each product
Suitability
MyDMARC is ideal for organizations of all sizes primarily focused on achieving DMARC compliance. Its clear interface and dedicated DMARC features make it particularly suitable for SMBs or organizations with straightforward email architectures. MSPs can also leverage its domain-based plans for managing multiple client domains.
For enterprise clients, MyDMARC provides the essential DMARC visibility, but those needing broader deliverability insights might find it too focused. It's perfect for teams whose immediate goal is robust email authentication without the overhead of a full deliverability suite.
Everest caters to a wide range of organizations, from marketing agencies and mid-market businesses to large enterprises and MSPs, particularly those with high email volumes and complex sending strategies. Its comprehensive suite is invaluable for anyone who needs deep insights into inbox placement, reputation, and overall email program performance.
MSPs, in particular, would benefit from Everest's multi-tenancy capabilities and extensive reporting for managing diverse client needs. For enterprise teams, its detailed analytics and competitive intelligence can inform strategic email decisions. While there are entry-level plans for smaller senders, the platform's full power is unlocked for those with significant email operations.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for
MyDMARC, while excellent for its specialized purpose, lacks the broader deliverability features found in Everest. If you need to monitor inbox placement, email content, or sender reputation beyond DMARC compliance, you'll need additional tools. Everest, on the other hand, can be complex and expensive, with some users reporting inconsistent support experiences and difficulties during setup or renewal. Its comprehensive nature means a steeper learning curve, and the pricing structure might be prohibitive for smaller operations.

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

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.

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.

None of the problem have been solving through this Everest. It just a inbox placement display system only.

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!
