Feature set

OnDMARC offers a robust suite of features for comprehensive DMARC, SPF, and DKIM management. We found its dynamic services for SPF flattening, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, and BIMI to be particularly useful, simplifying complex DNS configurations. The 'Investigate' tool helps diagnose deliverability issues instantly.
Beyond core authentication, OnDMARC provides detailed DMARC report analysis, forensic reporting (in higher tiers), and a Radar feature for enhanced threat detection. It aims to offer a holistic email security posture, integrating various protocols into a single, managed platform.
Fraudmarc Community Edition (CE) provides the raw, unadulterated DMARC reports, focusing on the essential data without much abstraction. As an open-source solution, its feature set is inherently tied to what the community develops or what users can implement themselves. It is primarily a tool for collecting and viewing DMARC aggregate reports.
Users must be prepared to process and interpret these reports manually or through custom scripting. While it covers the fundamentals of DMARC report analysis, advanced features such as SPF flattening, BIMI management, or real-time threat intelligence are not built-in and would require significant additional effort to integrate or develop.
How easy is each product to use

User experience

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
We generally found OnDMARC's user interface to be intuitive and well-designed, especially for navigating DMARC reports and setting up policies. Its guided workflows help ease the process of moving to enforcement, which is a significant benefit for users who may not be DMARC experts. The single pane of glass approach provides a clear overview of domain usage.
However, some users have noted that parts of the GUI can feel a bit clunky or overwhelming, particularly when diving into detailed forensic reports or for those initially unfamiliar with email authentication concepts. Despite these minor issues, the overall experience is geared towards simplifying DMARC management.
Fraudmarc Community Edition, being a self-managed, open-source product, naturally demands a higher level of technical proficiency. There isn't a pre-built graphical user interface (GUI) in the traditional sense; instead, users interact with raw data and command-line tools or build their own dashboards. This provides immense flexibility but at the cost of ease of use.
The user experience is less about a polished dashboard and more about hands-on configuration and data interpretation. For advanced technical users and developers, this can be empowering. For those seeking a plug-and-play solution, the initial setup and ongoing management will present a steep learning curve and require dedicated IT resources.
Which product has the best support

Support

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
OnDMARC is highly regarded for its customer support, with many users praising the responsiveness and knowledge of its team. Depending on the plan, support ranges from email assistance to dedicated account managers, chat support, and even phone support for Premier plan customers. Regular check-ins and account reviews are also part of their service offering.
We found the support staff to be proactive in guiding users through implementation and resolving complex issues. This comprehensive support structure significantly reduces the burden on internal IT teams, making the DMARC journey smoother, especially for those less familiar with the intricacies of email authentication.
Fraudmarc Community Edition (CE) is fundamentally a community-supported product. This means there is no direct vendor support, phone lines, or dedicated account managers. Assistance is available exclusively through its community forum. Users rely on peer-to-peer help and documentation provided by the open-source community.
While community forums can be valuable for troubleshooting common issues and sharing knowledge, they do not offer the guaranteed response times or personalized guidance of a commercial support team. This model is suitable for users who are comfortable with self-service and open-source collaboration, but it may be a significant drawback for organizations requiring immediate or expert assistance.
Who should use each product

Suitability

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
OnDMARC is an excellent fit for a wide range of organizations, including SMBs, mid-market, and large enterprises. Its tiered pricing and scalable features make it suitable for companies of varying sizes and email volumes. For MSPs (managed service providers), its multi-tenancy capabilities and comprehensive feature set offer significant value in managing multiple client domains.
Organizations prioritizing a robust, managed DMARC solution with strong support, advanced features like SPF flattening and BIMI, and a user-friendly interface will find OnDMARC to be a strong contender. It's designed for those who want to achieve DMARC enforcement efficiently and with expert guidance.
Fraudmarc Community Edition is best suited for technically adept individuals or small organizations with in-house IT expertise who are looking for a free, open-source DMARC reporting solution. It's ideal for developers, security researchers, or businesses that prefer a self-hosted environment and are comfortable with a do-it-yourself approach to email security.
It is less suitable for large enterprises or MSPs that require scalability, comprehensive dashboards, direct vendor support, or advanced features without significant custom development. While it can be a cost-effective starting point, the lack of a managed service and direct support limits its appeal to non-technical users or those with strict operational requirements.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

OnDMARC, while highly functional, can be costly for organizations needing advanced features, and its interface can occasionally be overwhelming or clunky to navigate. Fraudmarc Community Edition's primary drawback is its requirement for significant technical expertise for both setup and ongoing maintenance, coupled with the absence of direct vendor support or advanced features out-of-the-box.

Dynamic SPF and Powerful Features, GUI Could Use Improvement
What do you like best about Red Sift OnDMARC? I have been using Red Sift OnDMARC for over three years for monitoring DMARC, SPF, and DKIM across multiple domains, which would be difficult to manage without such a tool. It offers the ease of dynamic SPF and dynamic DMARC, which simplify complex monitoring tasks. The software provides a powerful set of features, making any initial setup challenges worthwhile. I especially value the single pane of glass interface as an IT administrator managing domains that engineers use, allowing me to track domain usage, detect spam issues, and dynamically update DMARC, DKIM, and SPF with ease. The dynamic SPF and DMARC/DKIM reports are integral for my operations, as they save considerable time by turning potentially lengthy tasks into several-minute jobs. Furthermore, the friendliness and support from our account manager, alongside our quarterly meetings, enhance the overall experience and decision to continue using the platform. What do you dislike about Red Sift OnDMARC? I find the GUI a little bit difficult to navigate sometimes and a bit clunky, which sometimes makes it hard to find what I want. What problems is Red Sift OnDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you? I use the product to monitor DMARC, SPF, and DKIM across domains, simplifying updates and detecting spam issues with ease. It turns lengthy tasks into minutes, providing a comprehensive view of domain usage and security.

Easy DMARC implementation with great visibility
What do you like best about Red Sift OnDMARC? OnDMARC makes it very easy to set up and maintain DMARC records. The guided workflows and clear reporting helped us move from monitoring to full enforcement confidently. The user interface is intuitive, and support is very responsive whenever we have questions. What do you dislike about Red Sift OnDMARC? It would be helpful if some of the reporting dashboards allowed more customization or export options. Sometimes, the volume of daily reports can feel overwhelming without filtering. What problems is Red Sift OnDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you? It is helping us prevent domain spoofing and phishing attacks by enforcing DMARC policies. It has also improved visibility into who is sending emails on behalf of our domain, so we can take quick action if needed. Overall, it has strengthened our email security posture and improved trust in our communications.

It is quite a useful tool to manage SPF/DKIM/DMARC records and understand it's impact on the domain.
What do you like best about Red Sift OnDMARC? The ease of using the application and the UI that is provides that helps in managing the records of the domain. Plus the customer service for the tool is quite responsive. What do you dislike about Red Sift OnDMARC? The limitation of the feature of MTA-STS, in which it reports only a few of the domains. What problems is Red Sift OnDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you? It helps us in getting a clearer picture of the use case of our domain, plus the acceptance and the rejection rate.

Easy DMARC setup
What do you like best about Red Sift OnDMARC? We have had OnDMARC for several years, we onboarded all of our managed domains over the past 12months. It was very easy adding SPF, DKIM records and moving DMARC to 100% Reject. We had support from Red Sift all the way. What do you dislike about Red Sift OnDMARC? Sometimes the dashboard is misleading, i had moved a domain to reject 50% and the dashboard didn't reflect that. but customer support fixed that very quickly What problems is Red Sift OnDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you? Securing our domains to bring them up to 100% Reject
