Palisade offers a robust suite of features designed for in-depth DMARC analysis and enforcement. It caters to organizations that require granular control over their email authentication policies and detailed reporting capabilities. We found its filtering and aggregation options to be quite extensive, allowing for precise data segmentation.
For users who need to dive deep into forensic reports and correlate various email authentication signals, Palisade provides the tools. It focuses on presenting a comprehensive view of email traffic, identifying legitimate senders, and uncovering potential threats, albeit with a steeper learning curve for less experienced DMARC administrators.
Kevlarr, on the other hand, emphasizes simplicity and actionable insights, particularly appealing to managed service providers (MSPs) and businesses managing multiple domains. We observed its dashboard quickly highlights critical issues, enabling swift identification of unauthenticated sources and spoofing attempts.
A standout feature mentioned in reviews and confirmed by our experience is Kevlarr's use of AI to filter out report noise, which significantly streamlines the DMARC monitoring process. Its API capabilities also allow for extensive automation, a significant advantage for those looking to integrate DMARC management into existing workflows.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
Palisade's user interface is functional and provides a lot of data, but it can feel a bit overwhelming initially. We found navigating through the various reports and configuration options requires a certain level of familiarity with DMARC concepts and data analysis.
While powerful, its design leans towards a more traditional enterprise tool, which might not be as intuitive for users seeking a quick, at-a-glance overview. The learning curve is moderate, making it better suited for dedicated security or IT teams.
Kevlarr generally offers a clean and straightforward user experience. Many users praise its ease of use and the clarity of its DMARC reports. We noted that the dashboard prioritizes important information, making it easy to spot problems quickly across multiple domains.
However, some feedback indicates that while the interface is clean, finding specific pages or deeper settings can sometimes require more clicks than ideal. This minor navigation point is often mitigated by the strong API, which many users leverage to bypass the UI for routine tasks.
Which product has the best support
Support
Based on our experience, Palisade typically offers standard enterprise-level support, which includes documentation, ticketing systems, and often dedicated account managers for larger clients. While responses are professional, they might not always offer the rapid, personal touch seen in smaller, more agile teams.
For complex DMARC deployments, Palisade's support is knowledgeable but may require more detailed information from the user to fully diagnose issues. There is no public review data to corroborate general user sentiment.
Kevlarr receives consistent high praise for its support, with numerous users highlighting the team's responsiveness and expertise. Reviewers frequently mention personalized assistance and quick resolutions, even for complex DMARC configurations. This level of engagement is a significant advantage.
We also found their support to be outstanding, providing detailed help when needed. The emphasis on customer satisfaction, especially for MSPs needing to support their own clients, appears to be a core strength of Kevlarr's service offering.
Who should use each product
Suitability
Palisade is generally well-suited for larger enterprises with dedicated security teams who need deep dives into DMARC data. Its comprehensive feature set makes it a strong contender for organizations managing extensive email infrastructures and requiring detailed compliance reporting. For MSPs, it might be an option if they manage a few large enterprise clients, but it isn't specifically tailored for multi-tenancy at scale. For SMBs, its complexity could be overkill.
Enterprises will appreciate its robust analytics, while SMBs might find it more complex than necessary for their needs. It is less explicitly designed for the multi-tenant needs of MSPs, although enterprise-level MSPs may integrate it into their larger security stacks.
Kevlarr shines particularly bright for MSPs and mid-market companies due to its intuitive interface, multi-domain management capabilities, and strong support. Its focus on simplifying DMARC reports and offering automation via API makes it an excellent choice for providers who need to efficiently manage email security for numerous clients. For enterprise clients, its feature set might be sufficient for DMARC monitoring, especially if they value ease of use and good support.
Kevlarr is highly suitable for MSPs, offering tools that streamline client onboarding and ongoing DMARC management. It also fits well with SMBs and mid-market businesses looking for effective email security without excessive complexity. Larger enterprises might find it suitable for DMARC enforcement, especially if integrating with existing systems via API.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for
Palisade, lacking public reviews, seems to have the common drawback of enterprise-grade tools, which can be a higher barrier to entry due to complexity and potentially less agile support without a dedicated account. For Kevlarr, while generally well-received, some users noted that the UI, while clean, could be improved for navigating deeper settings, and there's a desire for more integration with PSA or Microsoft CSP systems for MSPs, as well as domain classification.
