MyDMARC provides a comprehensive suite of DMARC reporting features. We found its dashboard to be intuitive, presenting aggregated DMARC data that helps quickly identify email authentication issues and potential spoofing attempts. It automates much of the DMARC analysis, offering insights into legitimate sending sources and unauthorized senders.
The platform includes functionalities like DMARC record setup assistance, detailed reporting on SPF and DKIM authentication results, and policy enforcement tracking. We appreciate the guided approach to DMARC implementation, which is beneficial for users less familiar with the technical intricacies of email authentication.
Docker DMARC Reports, being a self-hosted solution, offers a core set of features focused on DMARC report parsing and visualization. Its strength lies in providing raw access to your DMARC data, allowing for custom analysis if you have the technical expertise. It takes the XML reports and presents them in a web interface, breaking down authentication results.
While it lacks the advanced features of managed services, it covers the basics effectively. We noted that it requires a significant amount of manual setup and configuration, including database and IMAP server integration. The feature set is determined by the underlying open-source components, offering a robust foundation for those willing to manage the infrastructure themselves.

User experience

MyDMARC offers a user experience designed for simplicity and clarity. We found the dashboard to be well-organized, with clear visualisations of DMARC data. Setting up new domains is straightforward, with step-by-step guides to help configure DNS records.
The interface is responsive and provides easy navigation between different reports and settings. For those new to DMARC, the platform's guided approach reduces the learning curve, making it accessible even for non-technical users looking to understand their email authentication status.
Docker DMARC Reports presents a more technical user experience, as expected from a self-hosted solution. The initial setup requires significant command-line work and familiarity with Docker, databases, and mail servers. Once configured, the web interface is functional, but less polished than managed alternatives.
While it provides the necessary data, we found that its analytical tools are more basic, requiring users to interpret data manually. This product is best suited for users who are comfortable with server administration and prefer a hands-on approach to their DMARC reporting infrastructure.
Which product has the best support

Support

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
MyDMARC offers various levels of support depending on the pricing tier. On the paid plans, we experienced responsive email support, which is helpful for troubleshooting DMARC configuration issues or understanding report data. The documentation is generally clear and provides practical guidance.
For users on the free plan, support options are more limited, typically relying on self-service resources. However, the overall user-friendly design of the platform often minimizes the need for extensive support, particularly for common use cases.
As an open-source project, Docker DMARC Reports relies on community support through its GitHub repository. We found that direct, dedicated support channels are not available. Users needing assistance typically raise issues or consult documentation within the project's ecosystem.
This model suits developers and technically proficient users who are comfortable with self-help or contributing to the community. For those accustomed to direct vendor support, this might present a challenge, as problem resolution depends on community engagement and personal technical skills.
Who should use each product

Suitability

MyDMARC is highly suitable for Small to Medium Businesses (SMBs) and enterprises that prefer a managed, easy-to-use DMARC reporting solution. Its intuitive interface and guided setup make it ideal for organizations without dedicated email security teams. MSPs can also benefit from its straightforward domain management for multiple clients.
It's particularly good for those who need clear visibility into their DMARC compliance without deep dives into raw data or server administration. For large enterprises, the paid plans offer sufficient monitoring capabilities, although some may find the data retention limits on lower tiers restrictive.
Docker DMARC Reports is best suited for technically advanced users, developers, or organizations with specific infrastructure requirements and the expertise to self-host. It's a great fit for those who prioritize complete control over their data and infrastructure, and who are comfortable with Docker and database management.
SMBs without strong technical resources may find it challenging. For enterprises, it can be a cost-effective solution if they have the internal resources for setup and maintenance. MSPs with a robust technical team might consider it for custom implementations, but it lacks multi-tenancy features out-of-the-box.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

MyDMARC's primary drawback is its limited data retention on lower-tier plans, which can hinder long-term analysis, and it lacks some advanced features like SPF flattening or AI assistance. Docker DMARC Reports, while free, requires significant technical expertise for setup, maintenance, and lacks direct support or advanced features like proactive alerting or multi-tenancy.
