Report-URI offers a comprehensive suite for DMARC, CSP, PKP, and TLS-RPT reporting. Its core strength lies in providing detailed DMARC aggregate and forensic reports, which are crucial for understanding email authentication failures and potential spoofing attempts.
We found its interface clearly visualizes DMARC data, making it easier to identify legitimate sending sources and pinpoint issues. It's designed to give you granular control and insights into various web security policies, extending beyond just DMARC to encompass broader web security headers.
The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on serves as a bridge, allowing DMARC aggregate reports to be ingested and parsed within a Splunk environment. It leverages Splunk's powerful search, correlation, and dashboarding capabilities, transforming raw DMARC XML into actionable data points.
While not a standalone DMARC solution, it excels at integrating DMARC data into an existing security information and event management (SIEM) system. This enables security teams to correlate DMARC findings with other log data, providing a more holistic view of an organization's security posture.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
Report-URI's user interface is purpose-built for DMARC and web security reporting. We found it to be intuitive, presenting complex data in easily digestible charts and tables. The setup process is straightforward, guiding users through the necessary DNS record configuration.
For users primarily focused on DMARC and related security headers, the dashboard provides immediate value without requiring extensive training. Navigating through reports, filtering data, and setting up alerts are generally seamless tasks within the platform.
The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on's user experience is inextricably linked to the Splunk platform itself. If you are already a Splunk user, integrating and utilizing this add-on will feel familiar, leveraging existing Splunk dashboards and search language. It provides pre-built dashboards that visualize DMARC data effectively.
However, for those new to Splunk, there can be a significant learning curve. Customizing reports, setting up advanced alerts, or troubleshooting requires a solid understanding of Splunk Query Language (SPL) and the Splunk ecosystem, which can be daunting for non-specialists.
Which product has the best support
Support
Report-URI offers various levels of support depending on the chosen plan. We found that their documentation is thorough, covering most common setup and troubleshooting scenarios. Direct support channels are available for more complex issues, with responsiveness typically tied to your service tier.
This structured support ensures that users can get assistance when needed, which is crucial when dealing with critical email security configurations and ensuring deliverability. Their approach to support is what we expect from a dedicated SaaS provider.
A significant point of consideration for the Splunk TA-DMARC add-on is its support status. It is listed as "Not Supported" and "archived" on Splunkbase. This means there is no official support provided by the developer, and it may not receive further updates or active development.
Consequently, users are reliant on community forums, their own internal Splunk expertise, or third-party consultants for any issues or customizations. This lack of formal support can introduce operational risks and higher total cost of ownership, especially for organizations without dedicated Splunk administrators or security engineers.
Who should use each product
Suitability
Report-URI is best suited for organizations of all sizes, from SMBs to large enterprises, that require a dedicated, user-friendly platform for DMARC and broader web security reporting. Its clear visualizations and robust feature set make it ideal for security teams and IT administrators who need specific insights into their email authentication and web security policies.
For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Report-URI offers multi-tenancy capabilities, allowing them to manage DMARC policies and monitor reports for multiple clients efficiently. Its focus on security headers makes it a strong contender for companies prioritizing compliance and protection against various online threats.
The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on is primarily designed for large enterprises and organizations that are already deeply invested in the Splunk ecosystem. It caters to security operations centers (SOCs) and IT teams that want to centralize DMARC data within their existing Splunk SIEM for correlation with other security logs.
It is less suitable for SMBs or MSPs looking for a straightforward, dedicated DMARC solution without the overhead of a full Splunk deployment. Its archived and unsupported status means it's best for organizations with strong internal Splunk expertise and a tolerance for self-managing a critical security component.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for
Report-URI's primary drawback we encountered was related to managing trackers, where deleting them could be difficult if traffic was still detected. On the other hand, the Splunk TA-DMARC add-on carries a significant drawback in its official 'archived' and 'not supported' status, which means a lack of ongoing development and official assistance.
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.

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.
