User experience
Skysnag presents a polished web interface with dashboards designed to visualize DMARC data. While the platform aims for automation, some initial configuration, particularly around DNS records, can be a bit challenging for new users without prior DMARC experience. Once set up, daily management is generally intuitive, providing clear insights into email traffic and potential threats.
However, a few users have noted that the interface can sometimes feel overwhelming due to the sheer number of features, and dashboard loading speeds might occasionally be an issue. Despite this, the overall experience is geared towards providing a comprehensive, visual overview of DMARC compliance and email security posture.
DMARC-SRG offers a very different user experience. As a self-hosted, open-source tool, its setup involves installing PHP, a web server (like Apache or Nginx), and configuring cron jobs to process DMARC reports. This requires a solid understanding of server administration and command-line interfaces, making it inaccessible for non-technical users.
Once installed, the web interface (if configured) provides basic report summaries, but it lacks the visual dashboards, interactive filters, and automated actions found in commercial platforms. Its simplicity is a strength for those who prefer minimalist tools and direct access to data, but it requires significant technical heavy lifting for setup and ongoing management.
