Feature set

First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Kevlarr provides a focused suite of tools primarily dedicated to DMARC monitoring and enforcement. We found its core strength lies in detailed DMARC report analysis, helping to identify legitimate and illegitimate email sources quickly. It offers robust capabilities for setting up DMARC policies and moving domains to enforcement.
Beyond DMARC, Kevlarr also includes features like SPF, DKIM, and BIMI monitoring. While it doesn't extend into broader email security like anti-spam or malware protection, its dedicated approach ensures a comprehensive DMARC management experience. The API access is a significant advantage for automation and integration into existing workflows, a feature we particularly appreciate.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection, as part of the broader Barracuda Email Protection suite, focuses specifically on DMARC enforcement to prevent domain spoofing and phishing attacks. Its strength is in seamlessly integrating DMARC capabilities within a larger security ecosystem that includes email gateway defense, spam filtering, and advanced threat protection.
This product leverages Barracuda's extensive threat intelligence network to analyze DMARC reports, providing insights into email authentication failures and potential brand impersonation attempts. While it delivers effective DMARC management, its features are more tightly coupled with the overall Barracuda platform, meaning you're often getting a full security package rather than a standalone DMARC solution.
How easy is each product to use

User experience

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
From our experience, Kevlarr offers a clean and intuitive user interface that simplifies the often-complex world of DMARC. Setting up new domains and configuring DMARC records is streamlined with clear guidance. The dashboards are designed to provide quick insights into DMARC compliance and potential issues, making it easy to identify problem areas at a glance.
While some users mention a slight learning curve to navigate deeper features, the overall consensus is that Kevlarr prioritizes ease of use, particularly for those new to DMARC or managing multiple domains. We found that the reports are well-presented, making them digestible even for non-technical stakeholders.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection integrates into the broader Barracuda Email Protection console. For existing Barracuda users, this provides a familiar environment, but for new users, navigating the extensive Barracuda suite solely for DMARC might feel a bit overwhelming initially. The interface, while functional, adheres to Barracuda's established design language, which can sometimes appear less modern than newer, dedicated DMARC platforms.
Managing DMARC policies within Barracuda DFP is straightforward once you understand its placement within the larger product ecosystem. We observed that the reporting and alerting functionalities are clear, but access to highly granular data might require navigating through several layers of the Barracuda platform. Its strength lies in consistency for those already invested in Barracuda's security stack.
Which product has the best support

Support

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Kevlarr's support has received consistent praise for its responsiveness and expertise. We've found their team to be very hands-on, assisting with DMARC configuration and troubleshooting. The personal touch and quick resolution of queries are frequently highlighted by users, making it feel like a true partnership in email security.
They appear to understand the intricacies of DMARC deeply, providing guidance that goes beyond simple technical fixes. This level of support is particularly beneficial for organizations that may not have dedicated DMARC experts in-house, ensuring they can confidently navigate their DMARC journey.
Barracuda's support for Domain Fraud Protection, as with their other products, is generally reliable and comprehensive. They offer various support channels, including phone, email, and a knowledge base. For critical issues, we've found their response times to be acceptable, especially for enterprise-level clients with dedicated support agreements.
However, given the breadth of Barracuda's product offerings, support might sometimes feel less specialized for DMARC-specific nuances compared to a dedicated DMARC vendor. While their technicians are knowledgeable across the Barracuda stack, the depth of DMARC-specific expertise might vary, but they can certainly solve core issues.
Who should use each product

Suitability

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Kevlarr is particularly well-suited for MSPs, SMBs, and mid-market organizations that need a focused, user-friendly DMARC solution without the overhead of a full email security suite. Its clear reporting and ease of implementation make it a strong choice for businesses looking to quickly achieve DMARC enforcement and improve email deliverability. For MSPs, the multi-tenancy features and API are a significant advantage.
While it can scale to enterprise needs, its primary appeal is to those seeking dedicated DMARC management. If you're an enterprise purely looking for DMARC without other bundled security features, Kevlarr offers a compelling, straightforward experience.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection is ideal for organizations that are already using or considering Barracuda's broader Email Protection suite. It naturally fits into a larger security strategy, offering DMARC capabilities as one component of a comprehensive email defense. This makes it a strong contender for mid-market and enterprise clients who prefer a unified vendor for their security needs.
For SMBs, it might be more robust than strictly necessary if DMARC is their only concern, as it comes as part of a larger bundle. MSPs can leverage Barracuda's partner programs, but the core product is built more for direct end-customer deployment within a holistic security framework.

While both products offer solid DMARC protection, Kevlarr's main drawback is its lack of broader email security features beyond DMARC, meaning organizations might need additional tools. Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection's primary challenge is its bundling within a larger suite, which could lead to unnecessary costs for users only seeking DMARC functionality, and its interface can feel less modern. We also note a reported slight network lag with Barracuda DFP, though users deemed it worth the protection.
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.

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.

What do you dislike about Kevlarr DMARC Monitoring? None worth mentioning at this time, lot of features build in their main product, premium features are paid per domain (upsell opportunity!).

Instant protection against bad actors and insights in all our mailflows
What do you like best about Kevlarr DMARC Monitoring? Kevlarr provides a nice, easy and understandable insight into our mail flow making it very easy to address issues and find weak spots in our emailing systems. What do you dislike about Kevlarr DMARC Monitoring? There's currently no way to classify your domains to a certain degree. I'd like to see classification built into the dashboard. What problems is Kevlarr DMARC Monitoring solving and how is that benefiting you? It helps secure our digital domain assets and gives us insight into which domains and services are being used to send emails.
