Skysnag focuses intently on automated DMARC enforcement. It aims to simplify the complex process of setting up and maintaining DMARC, SPF, and DKIM, often highlighting its AI-powered capabilities to move domains to a p=reject policy with minimal manual intervention. The platform offers a strong suite for managing email authentication, ensuring domain protection against spoofing and phishing.
Beyond core DMARC, Skysnag provides features like SPF flattening to overcome the 10-lookup limit, hosted MTA-STS and TLS-RPT for enhanced email encryption, and BIMI for brand visibility. Its strength lies in a dedicated, comprehensive approach to email authentication security, rather than a broad email marketing suite.
Everest, by Validity, offers a much broader email deliverability and optimization platform. While it includes DMARC reporting and monitoring, this is one component within a larger ecosystem designed to help marketers and email senders achieve optimal inbox placement and engagement. Its features span reputation monitoring, inbox placement testing, list validation, and competitive intelligence.
The platform aggregates data from various sources, including Microsoft SNDS and Google Postmaster Tools, providing a holistic view of email program health. Everest is less about the automated DMARC enforcement itself and more about providing insights and tools for overall email marketing success, with DMARC compliance being a part of that larger picture.
How easy is each product to use

User experience

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Our experience with Skysnag suggests a streamlined, purpose-built interface. While some users initially find DMARC setup challenging, which is inherent to the complexity of DNS records, the platform generally aims for automation to simplify ongoing management. The dashboard provides clear visibility into DMARC reports and authentication status.
For those focused primarily on DMARC, the directness of Skysnag's UI can be a significant advantage, reducing the noise of unrelated features. It's designed to guide users through the process of moving to stricter DMARC policies, making what could be a daunting task more manageable for email security teams.
Everest, being a more expansive platform, presents a comprehensive but sometimes overwhelming user experience. Its dashboards are highly customizable, allowing users to tailor their views, but this flexibility can lead to a steeper learning curve for new users. Navigating the myriad of features, from inbox placement to reputation and DMARC, requires a deliberate effort to understand the layout.
The strength of Everest's UX lies in its ability to consolidate various data points into one location. While powerful, some users have noted difficulties in finding specific tools or wished for more intuitive navigation. The visual reporting is strong, but the sheer volume of information demands a user willing to invest time in familiarization.
Which product has the best support

Support

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Skysnag's support has a reputation for being responsive and technically proficient. When we engaged with their team, they demonstrated a deep understanding of email authentication challenges and were capable of guiding us through complex DNS configurations. Users often praise their ability to help resolve issues at the root.
While the initial setup can be intricate, the availability of knowledgeable support staff helps to mitigate this. They tend to be hands-on, providing the necessary guidance for a successful DMARC implementation and ongoing management, which is crucial for such a critical security component.
Everest's support, based on our observations and user feedback, can be a mixed bag. Some users laud the dedicated customer success managers and the helpfulness of their team, particularly for strategic advice. However, others report issues with responsiveness and the ability of frontline support to handle highly technical queries.
The vastness of the Everest platform means support agents need to be knowledgeable across many areas. While they excel at broader deliverability guidance, deep dives into specific DMARC implementation details might sometimes require escalation. We noted that the quality of support can also depend on the specific account manager assigned, highlighting some inconsistency.
Who should use each product

Suitability

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Skysnag is highly suitable for organizations of all sizes, from SMBs to enterprise, that prioritize robust email authentication and DMARC enforcement. Its automated approach is particularly beneficial for companies looking to quickly achieve DMARC p=reject without extensive manual oversight. MSPs would find its multi-domain management and automation features appealing for client portfolios.
It's an excellent choice for businesses whose primary concern is protecting their domain from impersonation, reducing phishing threats, and improving email deliverability specifically through strong authentication. We see it as ideal for security teams, IT managers, and MSPs focused on email security solutions.
Everest caters to a broader audience, primarily email marketers, marketing operations teams, and deliverability specialists within mid-market and enterprise organizations. It's well-suited for companies that require a comprehensive suite of tools to manage and optimize their entire email program, not just DMARC.
While it offers DMARC capabilities, its strength lies in providing a holistic view of inbox placement, reputation, and engagement. MSPs managing large-scale email marketing efforts for clients would find value, as would enterprise teams needing detailed insights into their sending performance. It might be overkill for SMBs solely focused on DMARC compliance.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

Skysnag, while powerful in its DMARC automation, has been noted by some users for a slightly steep initial learning curve in configuration due to the technical nature of DNS. On the other hand, Everest's primary drawbacks stem from its broader scope, which can lead to a less focused user experience and occasional inconsistencies in support for highly specific technical issues, especially around DMARC, compared to its comprehensive deliverability features.

It increases the overall security of websites and provides Authentication to Emails. It ensures that websites DNS records are setup correctly which is a very important factor for any organisation infrastructure and reputation. Good thing is we have not found any bugs and issues after adapting to Skysnag, we just have to configure it once and it will take of all the stuff. What do you dislike about Skysnag? Even though Skysnag is a great piece of software but it is hard to configure it properly, when we trying to setup the things with Skysnag we found it little difficult though we have got their amazing support and we had successfully configured it.

What problems is Skysnag solving and how is that benefiting you? Skysnag provided Security to our websites, it gives us flexibility to have our own DMARC records. Most of customers email were email getting landed on Spam sections due to less protection of websites or any other reason.

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

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

Secure Email Communication and DMARC Compliance
What do you like best about Skysnag? I like that Skysnag provides an easy and automated solution for securing our organization's emails from impersonation. The platform's DMARC enforcement ensures that our emails are delivered accurately and helps to increase our deliverability. I also appreciate the visibility that Skysnag gives us on the health of our email senders and the ability to bypass any authentication protocol issues. What do you dislike about Skysnag? I dislike that the platform can be difficult to navigate at times. While it has a lot of useful features and tools, the interface can be confusing and overwhelming for new users. It would be helpful if there were more in-depth tutorials or a more user-friendly interface to make it easier for us to fully utilize all of the capabilities of Skysnag. Additionally, the pricing structure can be a bit confusing and it can be difficult to determine exactly how much it will cost for our organization to use the platform on an ongoing basis. What problems is Skysnag solving and how is that benefiting you? Skysnag is solving the problem of email impersonation and poor email deliverability for our organization. By using the platform's DMARC enforcement, we are able to secure our emails and increase their chances of being delivered accurately. This is benefiting us by protecting our reputation and ensuring that our emails are being delivered to the intended recipients. I would highly recommend Skysnag to any organization looking to secure their email communication and achieve DMARC compliance.

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.

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.

A phenomenal email authentication service that boosts peace of mind
What do you like best about Skysnag? Skysnag has a simple installation process and makes lives easier for those in our organization by us not having to worry about authenticating emails sent from outside the organization. What do you dislike about Skysnag? An offering with more domains would be helpful for the smaller organizations that are under our parent company. What problems is Skysnag solving and how is that benefiting you? Reducing the threat that phishing has to our company, and allowing team members to spend less bandwidth authenticating emails.

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!
