PowerDMARC offers a truly extensive suite of features beyond basic DMARC reporting. We've found it to be a comprehensive platform for email authentication, including SPF, DKIM, BIMI, MTA-STS, and TLS-RPT management. The platform’s unique "PowerSPF" feature, for instance, helps flatten SPF records, overcoming the common 10-lookup limit and simplifying domain management.
The interface provides detailed aggregate and forensic reports, geo-location data, and a threat map for visualizing potential abuse. For those looking to bolster their email security posture across the board, PowerDMARC integrates reputation monitoring, domain DNS timeline, and a security score, giving a holistic view of a domain's health. The platform also offers "one-click DNS publishing" for ease of record deployment.
OnDMARC provides a robust set of tools primarily focused on DMARC enforcement and related email authentication protocols. Its core strength lies in its "Dynamic Services," which allow for simplified management of SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, and BIMI. We appreciate the Investigate tool for instant deliverability diagnostics and the Smart Alerts for proactive threat detection.
A standout feature for OnDMARC is "Radar," which provides advanced threat intelligence and detection capabilities, extending beyond standard DMARC reports to identify sophisticated phishing and spoofing attempts. While it may not offer as many ancillary features as PowerDMARC, its focus on streamlined DMARC deployment and enforcement, coupled with advanced threat detection, makes it highly effective for securing email flow.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
From our experience, PowerDMARC generally offers a straightforward user experience, particularly for setup and initial configuration. The guided wizards for DMARC, SPF, and DKIM implementation are quite helpful, making it accessible even for users less familiar with email authentication intricacies. We found the reporting dashboards to be comprehensive, providing a wealth of information at a glance, though some users might find the sheer volume of data a bit overwhelming initially.
However, the user interface occasionally feels a touch dated or can be slightly clunky in certain sections, which can sometimes make navigating or finding specific billing modules a minor scavenger hunt. Despite this, the clarity of the reports and the ease of setting up hosted services for DMARC and SPF generally contribute to a positive experience.
OnDMARC prides itself on its intuitive dashboard and guided workflows, which we found to be largely true. Moving from a monitoring policy to full DMARC enforcement is simplified through clear steps, and the visual reporting helps in quickly identifying misconfigured senders or threats. The Investigate tool is particularly user-friendly for diagnosing deliverability issues on the fly.
While overall user-friendly, some aspects of the GUI can feel a bit difficult to navigate or clunky, as noted by some users. Customization and export options for reports, particularly for larger organizations, could also be more robust. However, for core DMARC management, the platform is generally easy to use, providing a clean overview that helps quickly assess domain health and take action.
Which product has the best support
Support
PowerDMARC’s support is consistently highlighted as a major strength. We've experienced their team to be very responsive and knowledgeable, often providing detailed explanations and proactive guidance. Users frequently praise the "white glove service" and the dedication of support engineers, especially during setup and troubleshooting sessions. They offer video tutorials and interactive demos, with comprehensive support extending to one-time setup assistance for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records on higher-tier plans.
While email support is not included in the free plan, paying customers report prompt responses, often within the hour, via email, phone, and screen-sharing sessions. This level of personalized assistance makes the DMARC journey much smoother, particularly for organizations migrating policies or dealing with complex sender environments. Their MSP partners also laud the dedicated support.
OnDMARC also boasts excellent customer support, with many users praising their responsiveness and expertise. They offer email support across all plans, with chat and phone support becoming available at higher tiers. We've found their customer success team to be friendly and proactive, providing regular check-ins and offering suggestions for improvement.
The guided implementation is a key aspect of their support, ensuring that users can confidently move towards a reject policy. While some users mention that web chat response times can sometimes be slow, preferring email for quicker assistance, the overall sentiment is highly positive. Dedicated account managers and compliance programming are offered at their Premier plan, providing tailored support for larger organizations.
Who should use each product
Suitability
PowerDMARC is highly suitable for organizations of all sizes looking for a comprehensive email security platform. Its generous free plan makes it accessible for individuals and small businesses (SMBs) with a single domain and lower email volumes. For mid-market and enterprise clients, its extensive feature set, including hosted services for SPF, DKIM, MTA-STS, and advanced reporting, provides a one-stop-shop for email authentication.
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) will find PowerDMARC particularly appealing due to its dedicated MSP program, multi-tenant control panel, and unlimited email volume for managing client environments. Its broad range of features, often available even on lower-tier paid plans, means that businesses requiring an all-encompassing solution for DMARC and associated protocols will benefit significantly.
OnDMARC is an excellent choice for businesses primarily focused on achieving DMARC enforcement efficiently and maintaining a strong anti-spoofing posture. Its Express plan caters well to SMBs and smaller organizations, providing essential DMARC management for up to 1 million emails per month. Mid-market and enterprise clients will appreciate the unlimited email volume, API access, and advanced features like Radar for enhanced threat detection in higher tiers.
For MSPs, OnDMARC offers user permissioning in its Premier plan, allowing for granular access control across client domains. Organizations that value a guided, step-by-step approach to DMARC implementation, coupled with robust support and strong forensic reporting, will find OnDMARC to be a highly effective solution. It's particularly strong for those who need to address potential email fraud and brand impersonation effectively.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for
While both PowerDMARC and OnDMARC are highly rated, some common areas for improvement have been identified by users. For PowerDMARC, some users point to the billing module's discoverability and the need for a subscription for advanced features. Occasional UI update delays or lack of error visibility have also been mentioned. OnDMARC users sometimes find the GUI clunky or unintuitive, express a desire for more robust reporting customization, and note limitations in MTA-STS reporting for certain domains.
We have pulled the average ratings from G2 for each product, and also included the most recent negative reviews for each product in full. Positive reviews tend to have less detail and have a higher chance of being fraudulent, so negative reviews are a better signal for your decision.

E-mail security made easy
4.0 / 5
What do you like best about PowerDMARC? Very easy to set up. You can start with the basics and add features later. The system also guides you through the set-up process and provides recommendations for improvement. What do you dislike about PowerDMARC? For reporting and advanced features a subscription is required. However, for basic security for personal domains it's free! What problems is PowerDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you? More and more emails where rejected by email servers, or put in the SPAM folder of the recipient. Turns out a DMARC record is required by more and more e-mail providers. With PowerDMARC it is easy to solve this! Emails send from our domain are now fully compliant!

Dynamic SPF and Powerful Features, GUI Could Use Improvement
4.0 / 5
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.

Fantastic All-in-One DMARC Management, But Needs Easier Client Switching and More Whitelabel Options
4.5 / 5
What do you like best about PowerDMARC? I really appreciate how convenient it is to handle all the DMARC settings within a single, user-friendly platform. Their support team has been excellent in walking us through set up and troubleshooting for our specific clients. What do you dislike about PowerDMARC? I would like to see more customization options available in the Whitelabel section. Some of the current image sizing choices don't work well with our logo, which isn't a major issue, but having more flexibility would be a nice improvement. Additionally, switching between clients in the MSSP view is a little tedious. Right now, you have to log in as a specific client and then log out to return to the MSSP view. It would be much easier if there were a "User/Client" drop-down menu in the upper right corner, allowing you to quickly switch back and forth. What problems is PowerDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you? It is helping us protect our clients emails and reputations by blocking spoofing.

Easy DMARC implementation with great visibility
4.0 / 5
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.

Easy DMARC setup
4.0 / 5
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
