Feature set
Valimail presents a robust suite of tools segmented into Monitor, Enforce, and Align, each with distinct features. Its core strength lies in automated DMARC enforcement, which we've found to be highly effective in preventing spoofing and phishing. The platform excels at precision sender identification, even providing source IP data visibility in its higher-tier plans.
Valimail offers unlimited SPF lookups (beyond the 10-DNS lookup limit), automated DKIM, and comprehensive reporting. For enterprise clients, features like SAML/SSO, configurable alerts, and dynamic portfolios are available, reflecting its focus on large organizations with complex needs. They also support BIMI as a core feature across plans.
SimpleDMARC provides a more concise feature set focused on core DMARC monitoring and reporting. Its primary offerings include aggregate (RUA) and unlimited forensic (RUF) reports, along with historical data retention for one year. We noted its helpful look-alike domain alerts and threat visualization by map and geography, which are valuable for understanding attack vectors.
While SimpleDMARC covers the essentials for DMARC, it doesn't offer the deep automation or the breadth of advanced authentication features found in Valimail, such as automated SPF flattening or extensive DKIM management. Its features are geared towards identifying and reporting DMARC compliance issues rather than actively enforcing policies with the same level of granularity or automation as Valimail.
