First comparison imageSecond comparison image
DMARC Report focuses intensely on DMARC, SPF, and DKIM, providing a robust suite of features designed specifically for email authentication. We find its interface offers detailed insights into email flows, allowing us to quickly identify unauthenticated sources and potential spoofing attempts.
The platform includes features like MTA-STS hosting, TLS-RPT reporting, and BIMI support, ensuring comprehensive email security. Its multi-tenancy capabilities are particularly well-developed, making it a strong contender for managed service providers (MSPs) looking to manage multiple client domains efficiently.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection is not a standalone product, but rather a component of the broader Barracuda Email Protection suite. This means it offers DMARC monitoring and enforcement alongside other security layers like anti-spam, antivirus, and data loss prevention.
While its DMARC features are solid, they are integrated into a larger ecosystem. This can be beneficial for organizations already using Barracuda's other products, as it provides a unified security posture. However, if you are looking for a dedicated DMARC-only tool, this integrated approach might feel more extensive than necessary.
How easy is each product to use

User experience

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
We found DMARC Report generally easy to set up, with clear, step-by-step guidance for adding domains and configuring DNS records. The dashboard provides an intuitive overview of DMARC compliance and email authentication status. Its focus on DMARC means the interface isn't cluttered with extraneous features.
However, some users have noted that the user interface could benefit from a more modern refresh. While highly functional, the aesthetics sometimes feel a little dated compared to newer platforms. For non-technical users, interpreting forensic reports can still require some learning.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection, being part of a larger suite, integrates its DMARC features into the existing Barracuda management console. For those familiar with Barracuda's ecosystem, the experience is generally consistent. The unified dashboard allows for management of various email security aspects from a single point.
The setup process can be more involved due to the comprehensive nature of Barracuda Email Protection. Navigating its extensive features may require a steeper learning curve for new users, especially those only interested in DMARC. Once configured, monitoring is straightforward, but initial deployment demands a broader understanding of email security configurations.
Which product has the best support

Support

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
DMARC Report offers responsive customer support, with many users highlighting their positive experiences. We've found that the team is generally helpful, especially for setup and configuration questions. Different pricing tiers offer varying levels of support, from basic email assistance to advanced options in higher-tier plans.
Despite the generally positive feedback, some users have occasionally reported slower response times for highly specific or complex technical queries. The absence of a live chat option is also sometimes mentioned, which could provide quicker resolutions for urgent issues.
Barracuda, as a global cybersecurity vendor, typically offers comprehensive support channels including phone, email, and a knowledge base. Our experience aligns with their reputation for strong enterprise-grade support, which is often a key differentiator for larger organizations. Partners and MSPs also have dedicated support programs.
However, the nature of support can vary depending on your Barracuda Email Protection bundle and partnership level. While robust, accessing specialized DMARC-focused assistance might sometimes require navigating their broader support structure. This is typical for larger vendors with diverse product portfolios.
Who should use each product

Suitability

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
DMARC Report is highly suitable for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and managed service providers (MSPs). Its tiered pricing, including a free plan, makes it accessible for smaller organizations, while robust multi-tenancy and white-labeling features cater directly to MSPs managing multiple clients. Enterprise users can also benefit from its advanced features and API access.
It's a great choice if your primary focus is on DMARC compliance, email authentication, and brand protection without needing a full-stack email security solution. It allows for detailed monitoring and actionable insights specifically tailored to DMARC enforcement.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection is best suited for enterprise-level organizations and larger SMBs that are already invested in, or planning to implement, Barracuda's broader Email Protection suite. It provides DMARC enforcement as part of a comprehensive, layered security strategy.
For MSPs, Barracuda offers partner programs, making it a viable option for managing client security within their existing Barracuda deployments. Its strength lies in providing a unified security experience, ideal for organizations prioritizing integration and a single vendor for all their email security needs, including DMARC.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

While both products effectively handle DMARC reporting, we've identified some areas for improvement. DMARC Report's user interface could be more modern and intuitive, and occasionally, specialized support queries might face delays. Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection, being part of a larger suite, can feel less specialized for DMARC-only needs and might introduce a slight network lag, as noted in one review.
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 to setup and no errors
What do you like best about DMARC Report? Dmarc is critical to email deliverability and the tools they offer make it easier to set up than others I have tried. What do you dislike about DMARC Report? Still need a bit of technical skill to discern the forensic reports. What problems is DMARC Report solving and how is that benefiting you? Email Deliverability is critical to my business and DMARC report keeps me aware of issues with the authenticity of my site.

Excellent protection for a mid-sized non-profit.
What do you like best about Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection? Our school for autistic adults has benefitted immensely from the Barracuda products we use for cybersecurity, and their Domain Fraud Protection is an excellent addition to the essentials suite. It is relatively inexpensive compared to competitors and provides comprehensive DMARC services which protect our brand from being digitally impersonated and used to launch attacks. This was a real problem for us prior to purchasing Barracuda DFP, but has not been a worry in the 7+ years since we installed the software. Our IT specialist reports that their customer service is extremely responsive and that the software itself is simple to manage. Highly recommended. What do you dislike about Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection? The only downside we've experienced to Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection is a slight network lag. This has not been too noticeable, however, and the extra protection has been well worth the additional system load. What problems is Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection solving and how is that benefiting you? We used to suffer domain spoofing attacks multiple times a year, but Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection has successfully stopped virtually all of these kinds of attacks since we began using it on our network in 2015.
