Feature set

Skysnag provides a comprehensive suite of DMARC-focused features designed to automate and simplify email authentication. We've found its platform excels at DMARC report analysis, offering clear visualizations and actionable insights into email traffic, source identification, and spoofing attempts. It extends beyond basic DMARC enforcement to include advanced capabilities that enhance overall email security and deliverability.
Beyond core DMARC, Skysnag incorporates features like SPF flattening, BIMI implementation, MTA-STS/TLS-RPT configuration, and even DNS monitoring. Its AI copilot is a notable addition, aimed at automating DMARC policy adjustments and suggesting improvements. This integrated approach means we get a holistic view and control over our email sending domains, often automating tasks that would otherwise require significant manual effort.
The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on focuses on integrating DMARC reporting data directly into an existing Splunk environment. Its primary function is to ingest DMARC aggregate and forensic reports, allowing Splunk users to leverage Splunk's powerful search and correlation capabilities for DMARC analysis. We've used it to gain visibility into DMARC compliance and identify potential email fraud sources within the Splunk ecosystem.
While the add-on itself provides the means to process DMARC data, the actual analysis and reporting are heavily dependent on the user's Splunk expertise and setup. It can detect spoofing and help with source identification if properly configured with Splunk queries and dashboards. However, it lacks many of the specialized, automated features found in dedicated DMARC platforms, such as SPF flattening, BIMI, or MTA-STS, requiring manual intervention or separate tools for these aspects.
How easy is each product to use

User experience

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Skysnag offers a dedicated, intuitive dashboard designed specifically for DMARC management. Our experience has shown that its user interface simplifies the complex task of DMARC implementation and monitoring, presenting data in easily digestible formats. While some reviewers mention a slight learning curve for initial configuration, we found the platform generally straightforward once set up, with automated suggestions making ongoing management easier.
The platform focuses on guiding users through the DMARC journey, from initial deployment to achieving an enforcement policy. This means fewer manual DNS record adjustments and more automated insights. The visual nature of the reports and the clear action items make it accessible even for those who are not deep DMARC experts, allowing for efficient policy adjustments and quick identification of issues.
The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on's user experience is inextricably linked to the broader Splunk platform. For existing Splunk users, integrating DMARC data feels natural, as it leverages familiar dashboards and search language. However, for those unfamiliar with Splunk, there's a significant barrier to entry, as the add-on doesn't provide a standalone DMARC-centric interface.
Configuring DMARC reports, creating meaningful dashboards, and setting up alerts within Splunk requires a strong understanding of Splunk's data models and query language. The add-on essentially provides the raw material; building the DMARC monitoring system is largely on the user. Given its archived status, the interface and functionality remain static, meaning no modern UX improvements or simplified workflows are expected.
Which product has the best support

Support

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Skysnag offers dedicated customer support, which we've found to be a crucial component, especially during the initial DMARC setup and policy enforcement phases. Users frequently highlight the responsiveness and technical depth of their support team. This is particularly valuable given the nuances of DMARC implementation and troubleshooting email delivery issues.
Having access to expert assistance ensures that any configuration challenges or unexpected issues can be resolved promptly, preventing potential email deliverability problems or security vulnerabilities. This structured support system is a significant advantage for organizations looking for guidance and reliability in their email security journey.
The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on is explicitly listed as "Not Supported" and "archived." This means there is no official support channel, no bug fixes, and no active development. We've experienced that this places the entire burden of maintenance and troubleshooting on the user or their organization.
While community forums or Splunk documentation might offer some guidance, direct assistance from the developer is unavailable. This lack of support is a critical factor, especially for complex DMARC scenarios or if issues arise from data parsing or Splunk integration. It implies a higher internal resource allocation for upkeep and problem resolution, impacting the total cost of ownership.
Who should use each product

Suitability

LogoLogo
First comparison imageSecond comparison image
Skysnag is ideal for organizations of all sizes seeking a comprehensive, automated DMARC solution. For SMBs, its guided setup and simplified interface make DMARC accessible without requiring deep technical expertise. Enterprise clients benefit from its advanced features like SPF flattening, AI insights, and multi-tenancy capabilities for managing numerous domains across diverse business units.
MSPs (managed service providers) will find Skysnag particularly suitable due to its multi-tenancy support, allowing them to efficiently manage DMARC policies for multiple client domains from a single dashboard. Its focus on automation and robust reporting reduces the operational overhead, making it an attractive option for those who prioritize a dedicated, feature-rich DMARC platform with strong support.
The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on is best suited for organizations that are already heavily invested in Splunk for their security information and event management (SIEM) or operational intelligence. It caters primarily to enterprise-level users with existing Splunk infrastructure and internal Splunk experts capable of configuring and maintaining the add-on, dashboards, and alerts.
For SMBs, this add-on is generally not recommended due to the significant overhead of setting up and managing a Splunk instance, in addition to the add-on itself. MSPs might consider it if their clients are also deep Splunk users, but the lack of official support and its archived status make it a less appealing option for providing reliable, scalable DMARC services across multiple clients without substantial internal development and maintenance resources.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for

Skysnag, while feature-rich, can present an initial configuration challenge and its pricing structure may be confusing for some. The Splunk TA-DMARC add-on's primary drawbacks stem from its archived status, which means no official support or updates, and its heavy reliance on an existing Splunk installation and user expertise.
