EasyDMARC offers a comprehensive suite of features beyond just DMARC reporting. We've found it excellent for managing SPF, DKIM, and BIMI records, with features like SPF flattening and hosted DMARC services. It provides detailed aggregate and failure reports, subdomain detection, and email vendor identification.
The platform aims to simplify the entire email authentication process. We appreciate its managed solutions for DMARC, BIMI, and MTA-STS, which abstract away much of the underlying DNS complexity. Alerts and reputation monitoring are also key components that help us stay on top of domain security.
Open-DMARC-Analyzer, as an open-source tool, focuses primarily on the core task of DMARC report analysis. It takes the XML reports and transforms them into a human-readable, graphical format, which is incredibly useful for understanding email flows and identifying non-compliant sources.
While it excels at visualizing DMARC data, it doesn't offer the broader range of managed services or advanced authentication features found in commercial products. Its strength lies in its raw parsing and presentation of DMARC RUA and RUF data, allowing for source detection, forward detection, and spoof detection within the analyzed reports.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
EasyDMARC generally provides a very intuitive and visually appealing user interface. We've found the dashboards to be well-organized, making it easy to digest complex email authentication data. Its guided setup processes for DMARC, SPF, and BIMI are particularly helpful, reducing the learning curve for new users.
However, we have noted that with the continuous addition of new features, some parts of the platform can feel a bit busy, occasionally requiring a moment to reorient ourselves. Despite this, the core functions are streamlined, and the ability to make DMARC policy adjustments directly from the platform is a significant convenience.
Open-DMARC-Analyzer, being a self-hosted open-source solution, has a user experience that is inherently tied to its technical implementation. The interface itself is functional and effective for presenting DMARC data in charts and tables, allowing us to quickly identify trends and issues.
The primary challenge with its user experience comes during the setup and ongoing maintenance. We need to install and configure it on our own server, managing the PHP and MariaDB dependencies. This requires a certain level of technical expertise, which might not be suitable for all users, but for those comfortable with self-hosting, the day-to-day use for analysis is straightforward.
Which product has the best support
Support
EasyDMARC offers various levels of support depending on the plan, ranging from a knowledge base to dedicated DMARC engineers. We've generally experienced responsive email support, with quick turnaround times for inquiries. The option for live support meetings has also been a valuable resource for more complex issues.
For enterprise and MSP plans, there are often dedicated onboarding processes and direct technical assistance, which can be crucial for complex deployments. However, some initial trial users have reported varying experiences with sales and initial onboarding, suggesting that the full extent of support might kick in more robustly with paid plans.
Open-DMARC-Analyzer, as an open-source project, relies on community-driven support. We typically find help through its GitHub repository, forums, or by consulting the documentation. There's no dedicated support team in the traditional sense, so troubleshooting and bug resolution fall to our own technical abilities or the collective community knowledge.
This model means that while the software is free, the 'cost' of support is either our time or hiring external expertise. For those with strong technical teams or a DIY approach, this can be perfectly adequate, but it's a significant consideration for organizations that prefer vendor-provided assistance.
Who should use each product
Suitability
EasyDMARC is highly suitable for SMBs, mid-market companies, and enterprises seeking a comprehensive, managed email security solution. Its various plans cater to different email volumes and domain counts, offering scalability. For MSPs, EasyDMARC offers dedicated multi-tenant plans, white-label reporting, and sales/marketing support, making it an excellent choice for managing multiple clients' DMARC needs.
It's a good fit for organizations that want to streamline DMARC implementation, enforce policies, and monitor their email ecosystem without needing deep in-house DMARC expertise for day-to-day operations. If a managed service and robust features are priorities, EasyDMARC shines.
Open-DMARC-Analyzer is best suited for individuals, small businesses, or organizations with strong technical resources that prefer a self-hosted, open-source approach to DMARC reporting. It's ideal for those who want full control over their data and infrastructure and are comfortable with server management, PHP, and MariaDB.
It is not typically designed for MSPs or enterprises needing multi-tenancy, managed services, or extensive third-party integrations out-of-the-box. While it's free to use, the hidden costs come in the form of self-hosting infrastructure and the time and expertise required for deployment and maintenance. It's an excellent solution for tech-savvy users who prioritize customization and independence.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for
EasyDMARC, despite its comprehensive feature set, has received feedback regarding initial onboarding experiences and sales pressure, with some users finding clarity lacking during trials. The continuous introduction of new features, while beneficial, can also lead to a steeper learning curve or the need for frequent manual DNS updates. Open-DMARC-Analyzer, on the other hand, comes with the inherent drawbacks of any self-hosted open-source solution, primarily the need for in-house technical expertise for setup, maintenance, and the absence of dedicated vendor support. It also lacks advanced features beyond core DMARC analysis.

Just poor onboarding and sales support
0.5 / 5
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.

Unique Email Security Features, But Reporting Needs Improvement
3.5 / 5
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
4.0 / 5
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
4.0 / 5
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.

Easy enough to use for someone who is not familiar with DMARC
4.0 / 5
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.
