EasyDMARC provides a comprehensive suite for DMARC management, including RUA and RUF report analysis, detailed email vendor identification, and subdomain detection. Its platform is designed to offer deep insights into email authentication, allowing us to pinpoint legitimate and fraudulent sending sources effectively. We particularly appreciate the integrated tools for SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI, which foster a holistic approach to email security.
Beyond core reporting, EasyDMARC extends its capabilities with features like managed DMARC, EasySPF for flattening, and MTA-STS setup, simplifying complex DNS record management. The platform also offers email investigation tools and reputation monitoring, giving us a broad view of our email ecosystem. This extensive feature set makes it a strong contender for organizations needing granular control and a wide array of security protocols.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection, as part of Barracuda Email Protection, focuses on brand protection by leveraging DMARC. It excels in providing a consolidated view of potential domain abuse, helping to prevent impersonation and phishing attacks. While it integrates with the broader Barracuda suite, its DMARC reporting is primarily geared towards identifying and mitigating fraudulent use of a domain, rather than offering standalone extensive email deliverability features.
The strength of Barracuda DFP lies in its seamless integration with other Barracuda security products, forming a robust defense layer. It provides essential DMARC reporting, helping us understand authentication failures and enforce policies. However, compared to dedicated DMARC platforms, its features are more tailored to anti-fraud within a larger security ecosystem, rather than a standalone, in-depth DMARC analytical tool.
How easy is each product to use

User experience

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
In our experience, EasyDMARC offers an intuitive and visually appealing user interface that simplifies the often-complex world of DMARC analysis. The dashboards present aggregate reports, GeoMaps, and failure reports in an easy-to-digest format. We found the platform's navigation straightforward, allowing us to quickly access the information needed to make informed decisions about email authentication.
Despite its comprehensive feature set, some users might find the sheer number of options initially overwhelming. However, the 'Managed DMARC' and 'EasySPF' features significantly streamline configuration, reducing the need for constant manual DNS updates. This balance of detailed control and ease of use, once acclimated, makes it an effective tool for daily operations.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection's user experience is largely tied to the Barracuda Email Protection platform it is integrated into. For existing Barracuda users, this means a familiar interface and unified management, which is a significant advantage. The DMARC-specific reporting is clear and designed to quickly highlight potential fraud, making it easy to see where enforcement policies are needed.
However, for those new to Barracuda's ecosystem, there might be a learning curve associated with the broader platform. The DMARC section itself is straightforward, focusing on actionable insights for fraud prevention. We found it efficient for its primary purpose, but it does not offer the same level of granular customization or in-depth analytical tools as dedicated DMARC solutions.
Which product has the best support

Support

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
EasyDMARC provides multi-tiered support, ranging from a comprehensive knowledge base to dedicated DMARC engineers for enterprise and MSP plans. During our trial and subsequent use, we found the customer support to be responsive and knowledgeable, often addressing queries within minutes via email or scheduled meetings. This proactive approach to guidance is a clear benefit, especially for users less familiar with DMARC intricacies.
While the free and Plus plans rely primarily on the knowledge base, higher-tier plans benefit from email support and personalized assistance. Some users have noted a preference for phone support, which is not universally available, but the option for dedicated DMARC engineers and unlimited MSP technical training in advanced plans helps bridge this gap, ensuring that complex issues receive expert attention.
Barracuda's support for Domain Fraud Protection is integrated into its overall customer service for Barracuda Email Protection. This means access to their standard support channels, which are generally well-regarded within the industry. Their IT specialist reports that customer service is extremely responsive, which aligns with our general understanding of Barracuda's support infrastructure.
For detailed DMARC-specific queries, the support experience would likely depend on the tier of Barracuda Email Protection and the expertise of the support representative in DMARC protocols. Given it is part of a larger suite, direct DMARC-focused engineers might not be as readily available as with a specialized DMARC provider, but their general email security expertise is robust.
Who should use each product

Suitability

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
EasyDMARC is highly suitable for SMBs, mid-market, and enterprises looking for a dedicated and feature-rich DMARC reporting and management solution. Its tiered pricing, including a generous free plan, makes it accessible to smaller businesses, while the extensive feature set, multi-user access, and managed services cater to larger organizations and those with complex email environments.
For MSPs, EasyDMARC offers specific plans with multi-tenancy, white-label reporting, and integrations with PSA tools like ConnectWise and HaloPSA, making it an excellent choice for managing DMARC across multiple clients. Its continuous feature development and dedicated support for MSPs also highlight its strong appeal to managed service providers.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection is best suited for organizations already using or planning to adopt Barracuda Email Protection, as it is an integrated component. It is particularly strong for mid-market and enterprise clients who prioritize comprehensive email security suites and want DMARC to be part of a unified security strategy. Its focus on brand protection makes it valuable for entities susceptible to impersonation.
For MSPs, Barracuda offers partner programs that include their Email Protection suite, meaning DFP would be available through those channels. While it does not offer the same standalone DMARC depth as EasyDMARC, its integration within a broader security platform makes it a convenient and powerful option for MSPs looking for an all-in-one solution for their clients. SMBs might find it part of a larger, potentially more costly, security bundle.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

EasyDMARC, while offering extensive features, has some reported drawbacks, including initial complexity due to frequent updates and the need for manual DNS changes. Some users also felt upsell pressure during trials. Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection, on the other hand, is a strong offering for existing Barracuda users but lacks standalone DMARC depth, and one reviewer noted a slight network lag.
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.

Just poor onboarding and sales support
What do you like best about EasyDMARC? The aggregated reports are great, as well as the ability to have multiple domain reports displayed in one reporting system. What do you dislike about EasyDMARC? I started my free trial after a sales rep gave me a demo of the tool. I added 12 domains to the system. Ultimately, I was motivated to start using the software since it takes some time to set up. After all domains were set up, I reached back out to schedule another meeting (that's the only support available during the trial) trying to understand "what's next". It costs $79 for 5 domains; so I knew 12 domains would cost more, but I couldn't really grasp the business case yet. Why use easyDMARC over not using it? Setting up DKIM, SPF, etc., can be done without it. In the second meeting, my salesperson wasn't helpful at all. She pointed out that she had already answered some of my questions in the first meeting, repeatedly mentioned how important "this all" is, and that their customers are all happy. But I still didn't understand how to use it effectively. How do I go about using this software daily and make it part of my business routine? The conversation became heated when we went through an aggregated report by domain and looked at non-compliant traffic. There was some, and I didn't know what the source was. So, I asked, "What do I do now with this information?" She responded that she is not an engineer and that after I subscribe, I can reach out to customer service, but that all their customers find this all very easy. I had to stop the conversation and felt very disappointed since I was simply looking for an explanation on how to use the information provided so I could build a case for why it makes sense to buy this software for my company. What problems is EasyDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you? I was hoping to find a solution that keeps us on top of complience, reporting and data management.

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.

Unique Email Security Features, But Reporting Needs Improvement
What do you like best about EasyDMARC? The easydmarc platform offers some features that many major email security companies do not provide, such as managed DMARC and managed DKIM. It also includes support for BIMI and MTA-STS. What do you dislike about EasyDMARC? The reporting section feels quite basic. It would be helpful if there were an AI feature to improve the wording, such as clarifying that after enforcing a DMARC policy set to p=reject, any non-compliant or threat-sending sources will no longer have their messages delivered to the receiver. What problems is EasyDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you? Easydmarc addresses the visibility challenges that often arise when implementing DMARC. By providing a clear list of sending sources, separated into compliant and non-compliant sections, it allows us to identify legitimate senders within our organization—even those that might not be known to the IT department. Additionally, the platform simplifies the process of implementing BIMI and MTA-STS, making it possible to set them up with just a few clicks.

Great for MSPs, but Frequent Updates and Manual DNS Changes Add Complexity
What do you like best about EasyDMARC? Multi-tenanted and easy to use for MSP to deploy managed DMARC for customers What do you dislike about EasyDMARC? The platform keeps adding more features, and I find myself needing to learn how to deploy all of them. It also requires me to make manual changes through DNS, which adds another step to the process. What problems is EasyDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you? DMARC and SPF management consolidated for all customers in a single console.

One of the best UI for analyzing millions of emails
What do you like best about EasyDMARC? The UI was the top among the competitors. It makes DMARC analysing task to be very easy. The other tools' interface was very complex compared to EasyDMARC. The support team is also very attentive and they are very quick. What do you dislike about EasyDMARC? Their current infrastructure is not enough for the current workload and they are transitioning a new infrastructure to solve this issue which is temporarily. They dont have sub-domain categorization to classify all the sub-domains for their intended purpose. However, they informed that this feature request is on their roadmap. Other than these, there is actually nothing that I can think of being a task-blocker for my daily operation. What problems is EasyDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you? To analyze our large landscape of our email providers that are used for campaings, transactional emails, system notification emails. We are also interested to continuiosly monitor the malicious actors that impersonates our email domains. One of the best use case of DMARC analyzers is to provice a large overview to fix all email records if a domain is missing them like SPF, DKIM and DMARC DNS records.
Serdar M.
Senior Information Technology System Engineer Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)
Easy enough to use for someone who is not familiar with DMARC
What do you like best about EasyDMARC? Its an incredibly straight forward product. There is managed DMARC, BIMI, and MTA-STS that once added to DNS can be configured quickly! Additionally their customer support is top knotch. I created a ticket, was contacted within 10 minutes, and they answered all my questions. What do you dislike about EasyDMARC? This is likely not something they can do based on DNS limitations, but I'd like to see a managed DKIM option if at all possible. What problems is EasyDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you? My company had no DMARC policy in place. This was causing some of our business emails to end up in spam as well as finding spam companies somehow using our domain. While I haven't configured our policy to reject yet, its made the process to get to there much easier.
