SendForensics, at its core, provides robust tools for pre-send email analysis, focusing heavily on content, coding, and link quality. We've found its spam testing and inbox placement simulation to be quite thorough, giving us clear insights into how major email providers might treat our messages.
Beyond traditional deliverability, it dives into DMARC analytics, offering a solid foundation for monitoring email authentication. While it covers essential DMARC reporting, its strength truly lies in the granular feedback it provides on potential issues within the email's actual structure and messaging, guiding us to optimize for engagement and avoid the spam folder.
Everest, on the other hand, presents a more expansive suite, encompassing reputation monitoring, inbox placement, and a deeper dive into DMARC, coupled with email validation and design testing. We've seen it aggregate data from various sources, providing a holistic view of email program health across the entire sending lifecycle.
Its comprehensive approach means we can track not just DMARC compliance, but also broader aspects like IP and domain blocklist status, sender certification, and engagement analytics. Everest positions itself as an all-in-one platform for email success, aiming to cover every angle from pre-send optimization to post-send performance analysis.
How easy is each product to use

User experience

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
SendForensics offers a fairly intuitive interface, especially for users primarily focused on pre-send analysis. We appreciate the straightforward navigation when running spam tests or checking inbox placement. The visual feedback on flagged content or coding issues is clear and helps us quickly identify areas for improvement.
However, we've occasionally encountered some lag or glitches, particularly when rendering email previews with complex content. While generally easy to use for its core functions, a smoother, more consistently responsive experience would certainly elevate its daily usability for us.
Everest boasts a modern and customizable dashboard, allowing us to tailor our view to the metrics we care about most. Its ability to aggregate diverse data sources into a single platform is powerful, and we find the visualizations for deliverability and reputation metrics to be quite effective.
The breadth of features, however, can sometimes lead to a steeper learning curve, especially for new users. While we value the depth of insight, occasionally we've found ourselves clicking around to locate specific tools or reports amidst the extensive menu, indicating that while comprehensive, it sometimes trades simplicity for functionality.
Which product has the best support

Support

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
SendForensics provides support primarily through a ticketing system. Our experience with their support team has been a mixed bag, with response times varying significantly, from a few hours to a few days. For urgent deliverability crises, this variability can be a concern.
The self-help resources, including guides, are generally useful for common questions. However, for more complex issues or deeper dives into specific problem areas, we've sometimes wished for more consistent and rapid assistance to keep our workflow smooth.
Everest offers dedicated customer success managers (CSMs) for many of its plans, which we find to be a significant advantage. Having a direct point of contact who understands our specific needs and program setup streamlines problem-solving and onboarding considerably.
While overall support is strong, some users have noted that technical questions can sometimes take longer to resolve, and there have been comments about the support becoming less robust after its acquisition. Our general experience, however, points to a supportive team, especially if you have a CSM.
Who should use each product

Suitability

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
SendForensics is particularly well-suited for marketing teams, small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), and email marketers who need to meticulously test their email content before sending. Its focus on spam score, content optimization, and design previews makes it ideal for those who want to ensure their messages land in the inbox and look good.
For managed service providers (MSPs) or enterprise clients requiring extensive DMARC enforcement capabilities across many domains, SendForensics offers a solid foundation but might be complemented by other tools for broader deliverability monitoring. It provides value for those prioritizing pre-send checks and content health.
Everest caters to a wider audience, from mid-market to enterprise clients, as well as MSPs looking for a comprehensive deliverability platform. Its array of features, including reputation monitoring, sender certification, and advanced DMARC reporting, makes it a robust choice for organizations with complex email programs and higher sending volumes.
SMBs might find its full feature set (and associated pricing) to be more than they need, especially if their primary concern is basic DMARC monitoring or pre-send content checks. However, for large organizations or MSPs managing multiple clients, Everest offers the scale and depth required to maintain optimal email performance and mitigate risks across a broad portfolio.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

SendForensics generally performs well for its core function of pre-send email analysis, but we've noted occasional interface lag and varied support response times. Its DMARC analysis is solid, though it doesn't offer the breadth of deliverability features seen in more comprehensive platforms. Everest, while powerful and feature-rich, has faced criticism regarding its pricing structure, particularly some hidden renewal clauses, and a sometimes-steep learning curve. Some users also report mixed experiences with support and setup complexity.
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.

Shady sales practice shoot down ok software - don't use these guys
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

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.

Good for Beginners in Deliverability...Could be Better for Pros
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

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.

Review after using more than 2 months
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
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
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!
