Kevlarr offers a comprehensive suite for DMARC monitoring and management. Its core strength lies in providing detailed insights into email flow, helping to identify and mitigate spoofing attacks.
We found Kevlarr provides excellent reporting facilities, a user-friendly web interface, and an API that allows for extensive automation, which is particularly beneficial for organizations with complex needs.
DMARC Visualizer is an open-source toolset designed for analyzing and visualizing DMARC results. It leverages other open-source projects like parsedmarc, Elasticsearch, and Grafana to deliver its functionality.
This solution is fundamentally a DIY toolkit. It does not come as a single, packaged application but rather as components that users need to integrate and configure themselves to achieve DMARC reporting and visualization.

User experience
DMARC Visualizer
Kevlarr generally offers a clean, intuitive interface that simplifies DMARC management. Users consistently highlight its ease of use and the clarity of its reports, making it accessible even for those less familiar with the intricacies of DMARC.
While robust, some users noted that navigating through certain sections might require a slight learning curve initially, though this is often outweighed by the time saved through automated insights and client-ready reports.
The user experience for DMARC Visualizer is heavily dependent on the user's technical proficiency and their ability to configure and manage an open-source stack (parsedmarc, Elasticsearch, Grafana). It is not a plug-and-play solution.
Setting up and maintaining DMARC Visualizer involves command-line operations, understanding configuration files, and designing dashboards in Grafana. This means the 'user experience' is more akin to a developer or system administrator's task than a typical end-user interaction with a SaaS platform.

Which product has the best support
Support
DMARC Visualizer
Kevlarr receives consistent praise for its outstanding customer support. Users frequently mention the helpfulness, knowledge, and responsiveness of the support team.
We have seen feedback indicating that the support is often personal and quick, assisting users not only with product issues but also with DMARC configuration and understanding email flow.
As an open-source project, DMARC Visualizer relies on community support. This typically means finding solutions through GitHub issues, documentation, or forums related to the individual components (parsedmarc, Elasticsearch, Grafana).
There is no dedicated commercial support team for DMARC Visualizer. Users must be self-sufficient or rely on their internal IT/DevOps expertise to troubleshoot and maintain the system.

Suitability
DMARC Visualizer
Kevlarr is highly suitable for Small to Medium Businesses (SMBs), Mid-Market companies, and particularly Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Its multi-tenancy features and client-ready reports make it an excellent choice for MSPs managing multiple domains.
For enterprise users, Kevlarr offers advanced capabilities like API automation and AI-driven noise reduction, helping to streamline DMARC monitoring at scale. It's ideal for organizations seeking a managed, user-friendly solution with strong support.
DMARC Visualizer is best suited for technical users, developers, and organizations with a strong in-house IT or DevOps team. It caters to those who prefer an open-source stack and have the expertise to deploy, configure, and maintain it themselves.
It is less suitable for SMBs or non-technical users who require an out-of-the-box solution, or MSPs looking for commercial support and ready-made multi-tenancy features. While adaptable for enterprise, it demands significant internal resource allocation for implementation.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for
Kevlarr's drawbacks are relatively minor based on user feedback. Some users noted that while the interface is generally good, finding specific pages can occasionally take time, and some MSPs desire more robust SSO and PSA integration. On the other hand, DMARC Visualizer's main drawback is its inherent requirement for significant technical expertise for setup and maintenance, as it is not a commercially supported, out-of-the-box solution with a polished user interface or advanced features like SPF flattening or AI capabilities.
