Valimail presents a comprehensive suite for DMARC, SPF, and DKIM management. What truly stands out is their automated DMARC enforcement, which aims to get you to a "reject" policy swiftly. They handle the intricate DNS configurations, including SPF flattening, which is a significant relief for organizations struggling with the 10-lookup limit.
Their platform offers deep visibility into email sending activities, identifying both legitimate and unauthorized sources with precision. We appreciate features like continuous protection reports and specialized subdomain management. For organizations concerned with brand recognition, Valimail also provides an add-on for BIMI implementation, ensuring your logo appears next to your emails.
DMARC SaaS focuses on delivering essential DMARC reporting and enforcement. It provides the core functionalities needed to gain insights into your email ecosystem and move towards a stricter DMARC policy. The platform is designed to be straightforward, giving users clear data on email authentication statuses.
While it covers the fundamental aspects of DMARC, it appears to take a more direct approach without the extensive array of advanced features seen in some competitors. This can be beneficial for those who prefer simplicity and a focus on the essentials, especially for monitoring and basic enforcement tasks without needing too many bells and whistles.
How easy is each product to use

User experience

From our hands-on experience, Valimail offers an intuitive and well-organized interface. The dashboards quickly provide a high-level overview of DMARC compliance and email traffic, making it easy to spot anomalies. We found the setup process to be remarkably streamlined, often with excellent support guiding us through DNS changes. This makes the initial hurdle of DMARC implementation less daunting.
However, some users might find certain advanced features or detailed reports less straightforward to navigate initially. While the platform strives for automation, understanding the nuances of sender classification and policy adjustments still requires a good grasp of DMARC principles. Once accustomed, though, the daily use is smooth.
DMARC SaaS appears to prioritize ease of use, delivering a clean and simple interface. The focus seems to be on presenting DMARC reports in an accessible format without overwhelming the user with excessive data. For organizations new to DMARC, this simplicity can be a significant advantage, reducing the learning curve.
The platform aims for a direct path to understanding DMARC compliance. We anticipate that users will find it easy to monitor their domains and identify sources of unauthenticated email. While this straightforwardness is a strength, it might mean fewer customization options or advanced analytical tools for power users.
Which product has the best support

Support

Valimail consistently receives high marks for its customer support. Our interactions confirm that their team is responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive, especially during the crucial onboarding phase. They often provide hands-on assistance with DNS configurations and DMARC policy adjustments, which is invaluable.
Beyond initial setup, Valimail offers various support tiers, including dedicated account managers for higher plans. This ensures that ongoing questions and more complex challenges are addressed efficiently. While a knowledge base is available, the personalized human touch is where Valimail truly shines, making complex issues feel manageable.
Based on the available information, DMARC SaaS likely provides standard support channels such as documentation and perhaps email support. Given its focus on simplicity, the need for extensive, personalized support might be less frequent for typical users performing basic DMARC monitoring.
For users opting for their Partner Managed DMARC model, we'd expect a more hands-on approach, as partners would likely be guiding their clients. However, without specific details on support channels or service level agreements, it's difficult to offer a deep dive into the specifics of their support experience for direct customers.
Who should use each product

Suitability

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Valimail is an excellent fit for enterprises and mid-market companies with complex email ecosystems, numerous sending services, and a strong need for robust, automated DMARC enforcement. Its capabilities for SPF flattening and detailed reporting are particularly beneficial for organizations with extensive email sending infrastructures.
MSPs serving larger clients will find Valimail's multi-tenancy features and comprehensive management tools highly suitable for managing multiple domains and client needs. While it offers a free monitoring tier, the full benefits are realized by enterprise clients seeking top-tier email security and compliance. SMBs might find the higher-tier pricing prohibitive, but the free monitor is a good starting point.
DMARC SaaS appears well-suited for SMBs and organizations that need a straightforward, cost-effective solution for DMARC monitoring and basic enforcement. Its likely simplicity in features means less complexity, making it easier for smaller teams to manage without requiring deep email security expertise.
The "Partner Managed DMARC" model indicates suitability for MSPs looking to offer DMARC services to their clients with a managed approach, allowing them to scale their offerings. However, large enterprises with highly complex global infrastructures or niche requirements might find the feature set less comprehensive than needed for advanced threats or detailed compliance.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

Valimail, while powerful, can be expensive for smaller businesses and some users report a lack of detailed reporting or limited customization in lower tiers. We also note a potential for vendor lock-in due to their comprehensive DNS management. DMARC SaaS, on the other hand, lacks detailed public information on advanced features and pricing, making it harder to assess its full capabilities and hidden drawbacks.
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.

Easy DMARC Monitoring But Not Great
What do you like best about Valimail? Valimail is pretty simple to setup and use. We were wanting to monitor some changes to DMARC, and Valimail was the platform we ultimately decided to use. What do you dislike about Valimail? A few things I don't like: 1. The free vs premium features are frustrating. I can't see enough value from free to validate a move to premium. 2. The Sender Requirement Failure feature is in beta and never really works. I can't only get it to work if I expand it before a week, and even then it's hit-or-miss. 3. It doesn't really do enough. Other platforms I've tried did a better job at helping to explain the WHY and HOW rather than just the what. Valimail primarily focuses on the WHAT. 4. Some of the feature organization is weird within the app, even after having used it for a few months. I can get more value in the account overview than the sender requirements failure, which is counter-intuitive IMO. What problems is Valimail solving and how is that benefiting you? We had a baselevel view of email security when I was initially hired and wanted to monitor the DMARC changes effectively.

G2 is the most popular review platform for DMARC products, so this is a strong signal that this product is not popular.
I like Valimail - mostly.
What do you like best about Valimail? Good interface for viewing DMARC reporting information. What do you dislike about Valimail? Price, it'd be nice if they could institute a model based on volume rather than the number of email domains. What problems is Valimail solving and how is that benefiting you? Valimail provides DMARC provides good aggregate reporting for our email domains, allowing us to implement to the eventual reject policy goal.

Straightforward onboarding

Some features aren't as developed as some competitors, however ultimately it's up to each organization to decide the value of those features. What problems is Valimail solving and how is that benefiting you? Being able to report on DMARC successes and failures, to help us fine-tune the configuration to ensure each domain is correctly configured.

Valimail Simplifies DMARC Management, But Watch for Vendor Lock-In
What do you like best about Valimail? My favorite thing about Valimail is having a single portal that puts all DMARC reports into an easy to understand view. Having this information allowed us to identify hundreds of 3rd party email sources sending on behalf of our domain. Doing this without such a portal would be incredibly difficult especially in a franchise setting like ours where we have more services sending on behalf of our domain than most other companies. What do you dislike about Valimail? Valimail isn't cheap but you definitely get what you pay for. I also grow concerned about vendor lock-in now that I have setup Valimail to handle DMARC, SPF and DKIM with no exist strategy. What problems is Valimail solving and how is that benefiting you? Valimail solves the problem of visibility into who is sending on our behalf and makes identifying them easy.

A Must-Have for Email Security
What do you like best about Valimail? The best thing about Valimail is its fully automation feature as we can get the reports automated with whole monthly data . As I prepare reports every month in which I have to include the malicious email data so I do not need to manually check each single thing , the Valimail does it for itself. What do you dislike about Valimail? The thing which I dislike about Valimai is that its little expensive especially for the businesses which are small nd not much expanded . What problems is Valimail solving and how is that benefiting you? The problem which Valimail is solving for me is the manual effort for exporting the data related to spam emails and its security checks are the best .It filters out the emails properly and which are suspicious , they get rejected easily .
