ReachMail integrates DMARC management directly into its broader email marketing platform. While this offers convenience for existing ReachMail users, its DMARC features are part of a larger suite of tools, which means the DMARC functionality might not be as standalone or granular as a dedicated solution.
We found that ReachMail provides basic DMARC reporting, offering a summary view of DMARC data along with access to original reports. It includes DKIM and SPF signature management, which is essential for proper DMARC alignment, but lacks advanced DMARC-specific features like SPF flattening or extensive blocklist monitoring.
DMARCly focuses exclusively on DMARC reporting and monitoring, providing a comprehensive set of features tailored for email authentication. Its platform is built from the ground up to offer in-depth analysis of DMARC aggregate and forensic reports, making it a robust choice for detailed DMARC deployment and enforcement.
We experienced strong capabilities in source detection, forwarding detection, and spoof detection. DMARCly also includes advanced features like SPF flattening (Safe SPF), BIMI support, MTA-STS/TLS-RPT configuration, and domain blacklist (blocklist) monitoring, which are critical for advanced deliverability and brand protection.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
For users already familiar with email marketing platforms, ReachMail's DMARC features integrate seamlessly within its existing interface. The dashboard is generally intuitive for marketing tasks, and the DMARC section follows a similar design philosophy, focusing on ease of access for basic DMARC management.
However, for users primarily seeking detailed DMARC analysis, we noticed that navigating the broader marketing platform to access DMARC-specific information can feel a bit cumbersome. The reports provided are clear for a general overview, but deep-diving into specific data points might require a steeper learning curve or reliance on the raw report data.
DMARCly's user interface is designed with a clear focus on DMARC, making it highly intuitive for email security professionals. We found the dashboards to be well-organized, presenting DMARC aggregate and forensic reports in an easily digestible format with visual aids like GeoMaps and vendor identification.
The platform excels at simplifying complex DMARC data, allowing users to quickly identify email sources, authentication issues, and potential threats. Its dedicated nature means less clutter and a more streamlined experience for managing DMARC policies, configuring Safe SPF, and monitoring blacklists (blocklists).
Which product has the best support
Support
ReachMail offers email, chat, and phone support across its paid plans. The support team is generally knowledgeable about the entire platform, including the DMARC aspects. For basic DMARC queries, we found their assistance to be prompt and helpful, particularly for issues related to DMARC record creation and general understanding.
For more intricate DMARC challenges or advanced deliverability strategies, the support might guide users to review original reports or consult external resources. While they assist in DMARC implementation, the depth of DMARC-specific expertise might vary compared to a specialized DMARC provider.
DMARCly provides email support for its Professional plan and live chat support for Growth, Business, and Enterprise plans. We experienced their support team to be highly specialized in DMARC and email deliverability, offering in-depth guidance on complex authentication issues and policy enforcement.
Their support is particularly adept at helping users interpret detailed forensic reports, troubleshoot SPF/DKIM alignment problems, and leverage features like Safe SPF and MTA-STS. This specialized focus ensures that users receive expert advice tailored to DMARC's intricacies, which can be invaluable during deployment or troubleshooting.
Who should use each product
Suitability
ReachMail is best suited for organizations already using or planning to use their platform for email marketing, especially SMBs (small and medium-sized businesses) that prioritize an all-in-one solution. Its DMARC features are a value-add to their core marketing services.
For MSPs (managed service providers) or enterprise clients managing numerous domains with complex DMARC needs, ReachMail's integrated DMARC might be too basic. It's ideal for those who need basic DMARC protection without the desire for deep analytical dives.
- MSPs: Less suitable, due to limited multi-tenancy for DMARC.
- Enterprise: Less suitable, DMARC features may lack depth for complex needs.
- SMB: Highly suitable, especially if using ReachMail for marketing.
DMARCly is an excellent choice for businesses and organizations that require dedicated, in-depth DMARC monitoring and enforcement. This includes MSPs (managed service providers), enterprise clients, and any organization prioritizing robust email security and deliverability.
Its comprehensive feature set, including multi-tenancy options (domain groups and multiple users), API access (Enterprise plan), and advanced authentication protocols, makes it highly suitable for managing a portfolio of domains or large, complex email infrastructures.
- MSPs: Highly suitable, with multi-tenancy and extensive domain management.
- Enterprise: Highly suitable, offering advanced features and scalability.
- SMB: Suitable for those with specific DMARC security needs, even if smaller.

ReachMail's primary drawback is that its DMARC functionality is secondary to its marketing tools, potentially limiting the depth of analysis and advanced features for dedicated DMARC management. DMARCly, while highly specialized, can be more expensive for very low-volume users if they only need basic DMARC, and its extensive features might be overkill for the most basic use cases.
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.
