MyDMARC offers a comprehensive suite of DMARC-specific features designed for dedicated email security. We have found it provides granular insights into DMARC reports, making it easy to identify legitimate senders and detect potential spoofing attempts.

Beyond core DMARC reporting, MyDMARC often includes functionalities like SPF flattening, hosted DMARC, and even support for advanced protocols such as BIMI and MTA-STS, streamlining the entire email authentication process. It provides a focused experience for DMARC enforcement.

The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on integrates DMARC report data directly into your Splunk environment, allowing us to correlate DMARC findings with other security logs. It transforms raw DMARC XML reports into Splunk-searchable data, which is powerful for those already heavily invested in Splunk.

While the add-on itself provides the parsing capability, leveraging its full potential requires advanced Splunk knowledge to build custom dashboards, alerts, and integrate with other data sources. It's a foundational component rather than a complete, standalone DMARC solution.

MyDMARC offers a purpose-built user interface focused solely on DMARC management. We found its dashboards and reporting tools to be intuitive, presenting complex DMARC data in an easily digestible format with clear visualisations.

The setup process is generally straightforward, guiding users through DNS record configuration. For users new to DMARC or those who prefer a dedicated, streamlined platform, MyDMARC provides a user-friendly experience that doesn't require extensive technical expertise beyond DMARC basics.

The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on's user experience is inherently tied to the Splunk platform. If you're proficient in Splunk, navigating and querying DMARC data will feel natural. However, for those unfamiliar with Splunk, there's a significant learning curve.

We've found that getting meaningful insights requires building custom searches and dashboards within Splunk. While powerful, this approach demands a good understanding of Splunk Query Language (SPL) and data models, making it less accessible for a general DMARC administrator.

MyDMARC provides standard customer support channels, typically including email support, often with priority options for higher-tier plans. We anticipate a responsive team knowledgeable in DMARC-specific issues, ready to assist with setup, interpretation, and troubleshooting.

Given its SaaS nature, ongoing support and updates are part of the service, ensuring the platform remains current with DMARC standards and offers reliable assistance when needed, particularly for those who prefer guided support.

The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on is explicitly listed as "Not Supported" and "archived." This means there is no official support from the developer. We found this to be a significant drawback, as any issues or questions fall entirely on the user or their organization.

Troubleshooting requires deep Splunk expertise and an understanding of the add-on's internal workings. While community forums might offer some help, relying on an unsupported tool for critical email security functions introduces substantial risk and operational overhead.

MyDMARC is highly suitable for SMBs, enterprise organizations, and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) seeking a dedicated, user-friendly DMARC reporting and enforcement solution. Its tiered pricing and comprehensive feature set make it adaptable to various organizational sizes and complexities.

MSPs, in particular, will appreciate its multi-domain management capabilities, allowing them to oversee DMARC policies for multiple clients efficiently. For organizations prioritizing ease of use and focused DMARC functionality, MyDMARC is an excellent choice.

The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on is primarily for enterprise organizations already heavily invested in the Splunk ecosystem and possessing the internal resources to manage and develop custom Splunk solutions. It allows DMARC data to be ingested and analyzed alongside other security information.

It is less suitable for SMBs or MSPs who do not have a dedicated Splunk infrastructure or the necessary expertise. The lack of support and archival status makes it a challenging option for anyone not prepared for self-sufficiency and significant manual effort in maintaining and enhancing its functionality.
