DMARCly offers a comprehensive suite of DMARC reporting and enforcement tools. It provides granular aggregate reports, allowing us to drill down into specific sending sources, IPs, and results. We found its email vendor identification particularly useful for quickly understanding who is sending on our behalf.

Beyond core DMARC, DMARCly includes advanced features like SPF flattening (their Safe SPF), BIMI support, and MTA-STS/TLS-RPT monitoring. The platform also incorporates domain blocklist (blacklist) monitoring, providing a more holistic view of our email reputation. We appreciate the depth of analysis available through their interface, which simplifies complex DMARC data.

DMARC Visualizer is an open-source solution that leverages parsedmarc, Elasticsearch, and Grafana to provide DMARC data visualization. Its primary strength lies in its flexibility, allowing users to build custom dashboards and reports using Grafana. While it processes aggregate reports effectively, it requires a higher degree of technical expertise to set up and maintain.

The feature set is essentially what you can build on top of parsed DMARC data within Grafana. It excels at presenting raw DMARC data in various chart formats but lacks many of the automated and specialized features found in commercial tools, such as SPF flattening or direct BIMI configuration. Users gain full control over their data, but also take on full responsibility for its infrastructure.

The DMARCly user interface is modern and intuitive, designed for ease of use right out of the box. We found the setup process straightforward, with clear instructions for configuring DMARC records. The dashboards are well-organized, making it easy to see overall DMARC compliance at a glance and identify issues quickly.

Navigating through reports and filtering data is seamless. DMARCly provides helpful tooltips and explanations, which is beneficial for those new to DMARC. The platform aims to abstract away much of the underlying complexity, presenting actionable insights without requiring deep technical knowledge of DMARC data structures. This makes it a pleasant experience for daily monitoring.

DMARC Visualizer offers a different kind of user experience entirely, one that is heavily dependent on the user's familiarity with Grafana and Elasticsearch. Setting it up involves deploying multiple components, which can be a significant undertaking for those without DevOps experience. Once deployed, the data is presented within Grafana dashboards.

While Grafana is powerful for visualization, it requires custom dashboard creation and configuration to get the most out of it. We found that users need to understand the parsed DMARC data structure to build effective reports. This means the user experience is highly customizable but also demands a higher technical skill level, making it less 'plug-and-play' than commercial alternatives.

DMARCly offers tiered support based on the chosen plan. Their Professional plan includes email support, while Growth, Business, and Enterprise plans gain access to live chat support. We've found their support team to be responsive and knowledgeable, capable of addressing both technical DMARC queries and platform-specific issues.

The availability of live chat for higher tiers is a significant advantage, providing quicker resolutions for urgent issues. Their documentation is also comprehensive, often answering common questions before needing to reach out to support. This structured support system gives us confidence that assistance is readily available when required.

As an open-source project, DMARC Visualizer does not offer dedicated commercial support channels like email or live chat. Support is primarily community-driven, relying on GitHub issues, forums, and the goodwill of other users and contributors. This model means response times can vary greatly, and solutions may require more self-service troubleshooting.

While the open-source community can be very helpful, it is not a guaranteed, structured support system. We recognize that this approach is standard for free software, but it means that organizations without in-house technical expertise for troubleshooting may find themselves in a bind. There are no SLAs or formal support agreements, which is a key consideration for critical operations.

DMARCly is well-suited for a broad range of users, from SMBs to large enterprises and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Its user-friendly interface and comprehensive feature set make it ideal for organizations that want a robust DMARC solution without needing significant in-house DMARC expertise or IT resources for setup and maintenance. MSPs will find its multi-domain management and user access control features valuable for managing multiple client accounts.

For enterprises, features like enforceable SSO, API access, and extensive data history are crucial. SMBs will appreciate the guided setup and actionable insights, which help in quickly achieving DMARC enforcement. DMARCly provides a 'set it and forget it' (almost) experience, allowing teams to focus on other priorities while ensuring email security.

DMARC Visualizer is best for technically proficient users, such as developers, system administrators, or organizations with strong DevOps capabilities. It is particularly suitable for those who prefer open-source solutions, desire full control over their data and infrastructure, and are comfortable with self-hosting and integrating multiple components like Elasticsearch and Grafana. It is a cost-effective option for those who have the technical resources but not the budget for commercial tools.

This solution is less suitable for typical SMBs, enterprises, or MSPs seeking a ready-made, managed service, as it lacks a managed interface and dedicated support. While it can be adapted for multi-tenancy with Grafana, it requires significant effort. For those looking to learn DMARC data manipulation and visualization, it offers an excellent sandbox, but it demands active management and deep technical engagement.
