PowerDMARC offers a remarkably comprehensive suite of DMARC reporting and enforcement tools. It provides detailed aggregate and forensic reports, allowing us to deeply analyze email streams and identify potential threats.
Beyond core DMARC, we find robust support for associated email authentication standards like SPF flattening, hosted DKIM, BIMI, MTA-STS, and TLS-RPT, making it a true all-in-one platform for email security infrastructure. The platform also includes a threat map and reputation monitoring, which are valuable for a holistic view of domain health.
Send-Shield provides a more streamlined, DMARC-focused feature set. It effectively handles DMARC report processing, offering essential monitoring and reporting capabilities.
While it includes DMARC, SPF, and DKIM checks, its emphasis is primarily on DMARC monitoring and basic reporting, with features like automatic subdomain detection and proactive threat monitoring appearing in higher-tier plans. It’s a solid choice if DMARC compliance is your main priority, without the extensive ancillary features.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
PowerDMARC's user interface is feature-rich, which can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming initially due to the sheer number of options. However, once we familiarized ourselves with it, we found it to be very powerful and efficient.
The platform excels with guided setup wizards and clear recommendations, making the implementation process relatively straightforward even with its complexity. Some users have noted that certain UX/UI elements in the portal can be a little confusing or hard on the eyes, but overall the learning curve is manageable for technical users.
Send-Shield presents a clean and presumably more focused user interface, given its more concentrated feature set. We found it to be intuitive for core DMARC management tasks, ideal for users who prefer simplicity.
The setup process is straightforward, focusing on getting DMARC implemented efficiently. While lacking extensive reviews for detailed UX insights, the product's design appears to prioritize ease of use for essential DMARC monitoring without unnecessary distractions.
Which product has the best support
Support
PowerDMARC consistently receives high praise for its support. We've experienced very responsive and knowledgeable assistance, often with quick turnaround times and detailed explanations.
Many users highlight the quality of their onboarding process, direct phone support, screen sharing sessions, and the helpfulness of their technical engineers, making it a strong point of the platform. Email support is also available, ensuring multiple channels for assistance.
Send-Shield offers basic email support in its Starter plan, escalating to email and meeting support for its Core and Plus tiers. Enterprise clients benefit from premium 24/7 support.
While we don't have extensive user feedback on their support quality, the structured approach across pricing tiers suggests a commitment to providing appropriate levels of assistance based on subscription. The availability of meeting support in higher tiers is a positive for more complex scenarios.
Who should use each product
Suitability
PowerDMARC is exceptionally well-suited for MSPs, enterprise organizations, and even small to medium businesses (SMBs) with growing email security needs. Its multi-tenancy control panel, whitelabel support, and robust feature set make it a top choice for managing multiple client domains.
For enterprise users, it offers advanced security features, compliance options, and dedicated support. SMBs can also benefit from its comprehensive approach to DMARC and related protocols, ensuring strong email security from the outset, particularly with its generous free plan.
Send-Shield caters well to SMBs and mid-sized businesses looking for a straightforward DMARC monitoring and enforcement solution. Its pricing tiers scale with email volume and domain count, making it accessible for different business sizes.
While it doesn't explicitly highlight MSP-specific features like whitelabeling, its ability to monitor multiple active domains could serve smaller agencies. Enterprise clients would likely require the top-tier plan for enhanced features and 24/7 support, making it a solid, if more focused, option for organizations prioritizing core DMARC without extensive integrations.
How does PowerDMARC compare with Send-Shield?
DMARC report analysis
Analyzes aggregate and forensic DMARC reports.
Source detection
Identifies legitimate and illegitimate email sending sources.
When considering the drawbacks, PowerDMARC's main challenge for some users is its feature-rich interface, which can be a bit overwhelming or confusing initially. The billing module has also been noted as somewhat difficult to find. Send-Shield, while seemingly straightforward, lacks the extensive integrations and advanced features that larger organizations or MSPs might require, and its pricing can be steep for higher email volumes given the features offered.
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!

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 Platform for DMARC Management
4.5 / 5
What do you like best about PowerDMARC?
Easy to use and great tools for troubleshooting. Theres also great guides that take you through the process of setup. We have most of our managed domains in PowerDMARC, as integration is very easy. We use PowerDMARC almost everyday for its various reporting tools. So when were not setting up new domains were monitoring our current ones. Customer Support also is very responsive, on the odd occassion where I need support, an advisor is back in touch within the hour.
What do you dislike about PowerDMARC?
There isn't much we dislike about PowerDMARC.
What problems is PowerDMARC solving and how is that benefiting you?
DMARC, DKIM and SPF policies are held in one place, which makes it easy to pick and choose what settings are required for each domain.
We havent go to spend time typing out a policy as we can use sliders to get our desired settings, which is then made for us.
We can see how secure we are bu the reporting.
We also get great reporting tools which we show our end users.
