DMARC Report offers a comprehensive suite focused on practical DMARC management. It provides detailed aggregate and forensic reports, making it straightforward to analyze email authentication results. We found its email vendor identification helpful in pinpointing legitimate sending sources.
Beyond core DMARC, it supports MTA-STS and TLS-RPT hosting and reporting, which are crucial for advanced email security. Its multi-tenancy capabilities, white-labeling options, and API access make it a strong contender for agencies and MSPs looking to manage multiple clients effectively.
DMARC Expert extends beyond basic DMARC reporting, integrating DMARC analysis with broader cybersecurity services. Its premium DMARC deployment and maintenance plan includes a SaaS DMARC reports analyzer alongside features like Google Postmaster spam alerts and monitoring changes to SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records.
A standout feature is its technical takedown service, designed to neutralize fraudulent domains. While this is credit-based and separate from DMARC monitoring, it highlights DMARC Expert's focus on active threat remediation. It also includes hosted SPF and hosted BIMI, and behavior-based anomaly detection (AI alerts).
How easy is each product to use
User experience
Our experience with DMARC Report shows it prioritizes ease of setup and clear reporting. Users frequently highlight its step-by-step guidance for setting up DNS records as a significant benefit, simplifying what can often be a complex process. The dashboard is designed for quick identification of issues, using visual cues like green/red indicators.
However, we've noted some feedback regarding the user interface, with a few users suggesting it could benefit from a more modern and polished look. Despite this, the consensus is that it is highly usable and functional, effectively demystifying DMARC for both technical and non-technical users.
DMARC Expert's user experience is geared towards a more managed and expert-assisted approach, particularly with its DMARC deployment and maintenance plans. The SaaS DMARC reports analyzer provides a platform for viewing data, but the emphasis often appears to be on integrating expert analysis and consultation.
For users seeking a hands-on, self-service dashboard experience for day-to-day DMARC management, the platform might feel less intuitive compared to tools designed purely for reporting. Its strength lies in its comprehensive service packages which include expert guidance and strategic action plans, rather than just a simple UI.
Which product has the best support
Support
DMARC Report generally receives positive marks for its customer support, with many users praising its responsiveness and helpfulness. We've seen feedback mentioning quick replies and thorough assistance, particularly during initial setup or when addressing specific issues. This is crucial for navigating the technicalities of DMARC.
However, a few reviews point to occasional delays in response times for more complex or niche queries, and some users expressed a desire for a live chat option for immediate assistance. Despite these minor points, the support team is often highlighted as knowledgeable and friendly, contributing to a positive overall experience.
Support for DMARC Expert is heavily intertwined with its consulting services. The DMARC Premium plan, for instance, includes two 1-hour Webex sessions, indicating a personalized, hands-on approach. Higher tiers like DMARC Enterprise and MSSP offer an X number of Webex sessions, tailored to client needs.
This model suggests that direct, ongoing expert interaction is a core component of their support offering. For organizations that value direct consultation with senior DMARC experts for deployment, management, and troubleshooting, DMARC Expert's approach to support would be highly beneficial.
Who should use each product
Suitability
DMARC Report is highly suitable for Small to Medium Businesses (SMBs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Its generous free plan and affordable paid tiers make it accessible for smaller organizations starting their DMARC journey. For MSPs, the multi-tenancy features, white-labeling, and group management capabilities are particularly valuable for managing multiple client domains efficiently.
While it can serve enterprise clients, especially with its higher-tier plans offering increased report volumes and features, its primary appeal seems to be to those who need a straightforward, cost-effective DMARC reporting and monitoring tool without extensive custom consulting or specialized cybersecurity services.
DMARC Expert is best suited for larger enterprises or organizations with complex security needs that require a high level of expert involvement and additional cybersecurity services. The DMARC Enterprise plan is specifically designed for companies with numerous domain names and high email volumes, offering dedicated multidisciplinary consultants and continuous surveillance.
MSPs could also find value in its DMARC MSSP plan, which offers multi-user management. However, its significant focus on credit-based technical takedown services and DMARC project acceleration consulting (billed daily) points towards organizations looking for a comprehensive, managed security solution rather than just a reporting tool.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for
DMARC Report, while highly functional, sometimes receives feedback about its user interface feeling a bit dated, and occasional issues with specific support queries or login errors. DMARC Expert, on the other hand, lacks public reviews, making it harder to identify common user-reported drawbacks, but its emphasis on consulting means it might not be the most budget-friendly or self-service option for all users.

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.

No G2 reviews
G2 is the most popular review platform for DMARC products, so this is a strong signal that this product is not popular.
Easy configuration. Clear, easy to read reports.
4.0 / 5
What do you like best about DMARC Report? I find the whole SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration of email addresses to be thoroughly confusing. I have a technical bent, so I shouldn't be mystified, yet somehow I am. DMARC Report relieves most of this grief. The website has a clear, logical interface, so it's easy to find what I need. It tells me if I've misconfigured something. It sends me weekly reports of my deliverability stats, which are very easy to read. I'm not currently sending stuff out via mailing lists. I wanted to set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC so I could be sure that my regular business email was getting delivered. DMARC Report has some advanced reporting of fancy threats that don't concern me yet, because my business is still small. What do you dislike about DMARC Report? The price is high for me, due to my business's small size. The pricing is geared for larger businesses. I hope to grow into needing that much capacity, but they're a bit of an ill fit for me at the moment. If your company is small and you use just one domain name, their Free plan might be all you need. I'm thinking of downgrading to that. What problems is DMARC Report solving and how is that benefiting you? I need the confidence that my email is configured properly to guarantee delivery. DMARC Report provides reports that are easy to read. I can see at a glance if I have a problem.

4.0 / 5
What do you like best about DMARC Report? It provides comprehensive insights into all messages sent from your domain, ensuring you have all the necessary information to maintain robust email security and improve deliverability.

A Solid DMARC Management Experience
4.0 / 5
What do you like best about DMARC Report? My team and I enjoy the simplicity and effectivity of DMARC Report- it just works. Options are easy to find, the platform does exactly what it says it will do, and the value generated is great. Multi-Tenant capabilities are also a huge plus. What do you dislike about DMARC Report? The user interface needs a little work. I'd like it to ideally be a little more fluid, modern, and polished. It's not a deal breaker and is highly usable, but a touch up would be appreciated. What problems is DMARC Report solving and how is that benefiting you? Managing our clients DMARC can be chaotic and time consuming- this makes it easy putting everything in a clean easy report with tons of options for us to easily manage and configure our client's DMARC and other DNS settings.

Cost-effective and useful solution for DMARC report parsing
4.0 / 5
What do you like best about DMARC Report? Comprehensive email security solution with DMARC reporting, TLS, and more. What do you dislike about DMARC Report? It can be confusing to navigate the menus and occasionally it resets to the default domain. What problems is DMARC Report solving and how is that benefiting you? DMARC reports are largely unreadable to humans, and a parser is a must. DMARC Report has been great for both my own and my clients' domains, providing easy to digest reporting and giving insights into authentication problems as well as spoofing.

Pricing
DMARC Report offers a tiered pricing structure that includes a generous free plan, with monthly and yearly options that become more cost-effective as you scale. DMARC Expert's pricing, however, is based on a mix of annual subscriptions for DMARC deployment and credit-based systems for takedown services, starting at a higher entry point and often requiring annual commitment.
