Report-URI offers a comprehensive suite of DMARC reporting features. We find its strength lies in providing very granular data, allowing for deep dives into email authentication issues. It excels at collecting raw DMARC aggregate and forensic (if enabled) reports, giving us the building blocks to understand our email ecosystem.
While powerful, Report-URI requires users to have a good understanding of DMARC and email protocols to fully leverage its capabilities. It's less about hand-holding and more about providing the tools for skilled professionals to analyze and act on the data effectively. Its dashboards are functional, providing clear visualisations of authentication trends over time.
Send-Shield positions itself as a more guided and user-friendly DMARC solution, focusing on simplifying the complex world of email authentication. Its platform emphasizes clear, actionable insights derived from DMARC reports, aiming to make it easier for users to identify and resolve issues.
We've observed that Send-Shield provides good automated source identification and proactive threat monitoring features, which can be beneficial for those who prefer a more hands-off approach to DMARC management. The reporting is designed to be straightforward, helping users quickly grasp their DMARC compliance status and potential spoofing attempts.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
Report-URI’s user interface is primarily functional. It's designed for users who are comfortable with data analysis and have a solid technical understanding of DMARC. The navigation is logical for those familiar with such tools, but it might present a steeper learning curve for newcomers.
We find that setting up reporting and configuring alerts is straightforward once you understand the system's logic. However, the sheer volume of data can sometimes be overwhelming, and extracting specific insights often requires a bit of digging and filtering. The focus is on robust data presentation rather than streamlined workflows.
Send-Shield offers a more streamlined and guided user experience. Its dashboard is generally clean and attempts to simplify DMARC data into easily digestible formats, which we appreciate. The platform guides users through setup and policy enforcement with clear prompts and explanations.
While the simplification is helpful, advanced users might sometimes find the options less granular than desired, potentially limiting deep dives into specific issues without external analysis. Overall, it's a good choice for those who prioritize ease of use and a guided path to DMARC compliance.
Which product has the best support
Support
Report-URI primarily offers documentation and community-based support, alongside email support for paid tiers. Given its technical nature, users are often expected to be somewhat self-sufficient in troubleshooting and understanding DMARC concepts. We've found the documentation to be comprehensive.
For complex issues, waiting for email responses might not always be ideal for urgent situations, but the community forums can be a valuable resource for common queries. Their support model aligns with a more technically adept user base who prefers self-service first.
Send-Shield offers varied support based on its pricing tiers, including email and meeting support for core and plus plans, and premium 24/7 support for enterprise clients. This tiered approach suggests a greater emphasis on direct customer assistance.
Our experience indicates that Send-Shield aims to provide more direct guidance, especially beneficial for those less familiar with DMARC intricacies. The availability of meeting support in higher tiers is a definite advantage for complex setups or strategic DMARC planning.
Who should use each product
Suitability
Report-URI is highly suitable for technical users, email administrators, and developers who need raw data and fine-grained control over their DMARC reporting. Its free tier makes it an excellent choice for individuals or small businesses (SMBs) just starting with DMARC, willing to invest time in understanding the data.
For managed service providers (MSPs) and enterprises, Report-URI can be powerful if they have the internal expertise to interpret the extensive data. Its multi-tenancy capabilities are useful for managing multiple client domains. However, those seeking a more automated, 'set-it-and-forget-it' solution might find it too hands-on.
Send-Shield is well-suited for SMBs and organizations that need a more guided DMARC implementation experience. Its focus on simplified insights and proactive threat monitoring makes it appealing for those with limited in-house DMARC expertise or time.
For enterprises and MSPs, Send-Shield offers a more managed approach, especially with features like automatic subdomain detection and dedicated account management in higher tiers. It provides a good balance between data visibility and ease of management, making it a strong contender for those who prioritize actionable reporting over raw data access.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

Send-Shield, while user-friendly, can sometimes feel less granular for advanced users who require deeper data exploration beyond its streamlined interface.

What do you like best about Report URI? What I like the most about New Relic is how easy it is instal the trackers on the different well know servers and systems like Apache, AWS, S3 Object etc. The visualisation is the live data are great. What do you dislike about Report URI? Sometimes it is difficult to delete a tracker if it still detects trafic. You can't delete them if the tracker continues to receive records - something that happens regularly when we have used CDN networks Recommendations to others considering Report URI: Use the correct version of the tracker for your specific system What problems is Report URI solving and how is that benefiting you? It solved the live monitoring problem and extra expenses for monitoring softwares that monitor the health and the responsiveness of our services and platforms. It is also connected with Atlassian Statuspage which give a better performance view for our clients.
