DMARC Director, from Tangent, provides a focused suite for DMARC implementation and management. We find its strength lies in its ability to parse complex DMARC reports into digestible formats, helping us identify and authenticate legitimate email sources.
The platform offers a robust set of tools for DMARC enforcement, including granular reporting, policy management, and the ability to track authentication failures. It's designed for organizations that need a dedicated DMARC solution to secure their email ecosystem against spoofing and phishing attacks.
Netcraft Fraud Detection takes a broader approach, integrating DMARC reporting within a wider cybersecurity framework aimed at combating online fraud. While it provides essential DMARC analysis, we see its primary value in its comprehensive threat intelligence and response capabilities.
The platform offers more than just DMARC, extending into brand protection, phishing detection, and takedown services. Its DMARC features are part of a larger arsenal designed to protect brands from various forms of digital impersonation and financial fraud.

User experience

First comparison imageSecond comparison image
From our experience, DMARC Director offers a straightforward and functional user interface. It focuses on presenting DMARC data clearly, with dashboards that highlight key metrics like authentication rates and threat sources. We found the navigation intuitive for core DMARC tasks.
However, the interface, while effective, sometimes feels less modern than other platforms. Some advanced configurations can require a bit more digging, but for daily DMARC monitoring, it's generally a smooth experience. It does what it says on the tin, without much fuss.
Netcraft Fraud Detection, given its broader scope, has a more expansive dashboard. We noticed that while the DMARC specific sections are well-integrated, the overall platform can feel quite dense with various fraud detection modules. It takes a little longer to get accustomed to the full suite of tools.
Once we navigated past the initial learning curve, we appreciated the integrated view of DMARC alongside other security insights. The visualisations for DMARC reports are clear, though accessing advanced DMARC-only features might sometimes require filtering through other security-related data. It's like a Swiss Army knife, with many tools, some of which you might not use daily.

Support

We found DMARC Director's support to be knowledgeable and responsive, particularly concerning DMARC best practices and platform-specific issues. They offer phone and email support, which we appreciate for direct assistance during critical periods of DMARC policy enforcement.
Their team seems well-versed in the nuances of DMARC, providing practical guidance rather than just generic responses. We've experienced prompt responses, which is crucial when dealing with email deliverability and security issues that can impact business operations.
Netcraft Fraud Detection provides comprehensive support that covers its wide array of services, including DMARC. Their support team is adept at handling diverse cybersecurity inquiries, from DMARC enforcement to phishing takedowns. We typically rely on their email and web-based ticketing system.
Given the breadth of their offerings, we sometimes find that DMARC-specific issues might require slightly more context for their general support team, but they are diligent in escalating to specialists. Their global presence also ensures coverage across different time zones, which is a plus for international operations.
Who should use each product

Suitability

DMARC Director is particularly well-suited for organizations that prioritize a dedicated, no-frills DMARC management solution. We see it as an excellent choice for enterprises needing robust DMARC enforcement without the complexity of a broader security platform. For SMBs, it offers necessary tools, but pricing might be a consideration without a free tier.
MSPs looking to offer DMARC services to clients would find its multi-tenancy capabilities valuable, allowing them to manage multiple domains efficiently. It's designed for serious DMARC practitioners who want deep insights into their email authentication landscape.
Netcraft Fraud Detection shines for larger enterprises that require an integrated approach to online brand protection and fraud detection, with DMARC as a component. Its comprehensive suite makes it ideal for security teams dealing with a wide range of cyber threats beyond just email spoofing.
While SMBs might find its feature set extensive, the integrated capabilities make it a strong contender for those with broader security needs and resources. MSPs could leverage Netcraft for a holistic security offering, but its DMARC features are embedded within a larger system, which might be overkill for DMARC-only clients.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

DMARC Director, while effective, lacks transparent pricing, which can be a hurdle for initial evaluation. Its interface, though functional, doesn't always feel as modern or intuitive as some competitors. Netcraft Fraud Detection's primary drawback is its complexity, as its DMARC features are part of a much larger security platform, potentially overwhelming users who only seek DMARC management. Both products currently show no public reviews, which makes it harder for potential customers to gauge widespread user satisfaction.
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.
