URIports offers a deep dive into all aspects of email security with support for DMARC, Content Security Policy (CSP), Network Error Logging (NEL), and SMTP TLS-RPT. We found its granular reporting and analysis capabilities to be exceptionally thorough, allowing for precise identification of email authentication issues and attack vectors. The platform also provides a suite of tools for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation.
The platform excels in providing detailed data enrichment, including geocoding, hostname lookup, and WHOIS data, which are crucial for forensic analysis. It is designed for users who want to understand every nuance of their email flow and security policies. Its automatic subdomain detection is a powerful feature for maintaining a tight security perimeter.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection, as part of Barracuda Email Protection, focuses primarily on DMARC enforcement to prevent domain spoofing. Our experience showed it integrates well within the Barracuda ecosystem, making it a natural fit for existing Barracuda users looking to extend their email security posture.
While its DMARC reporting is effective for preventing brand impersonation, its feature set is less broad than URIports when it comes to supporting other security policies like CSP or NEL. The strength lies in its ability to simplify DMARC management for customers already invested in Barracuda's comprehensive security solutions.
How easy is each product to use
User experience
URIports boasts a slick and intuitive interface that simplifies complex DMARC data into actionable insights. We appreciated the configurable dashboards and custom views that allow users to tailor their monitoring experience. Despite the depth of features, navigating the platform is straightforward, thanks to its logical layout and clear explanations.
Setting up new domains and configuring DMARC records is made easy with their integrated tools. The ability to search, filter, and deep-dive through reporting data quickly helps us pinpoint issues without getting bogged down in raw reports.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection offers a user experience consistent with other Barracuda products. For those already familiar with the Barracuda interface, the DFP module is easy to adopt. Its focus on DMARC makes the relevant data points accessible, especially for core brand protection tasks.
We found the setup process to be relatively simple, particularly if you are already using Barracuda's broader email protection suite. While it may not offer the same level of customization or granular reporting depth as URIports, its streamlined approach is effective for its primary purpose of fraud protection.
Which product has the best support
Support
URIports provides basic product support across all tiers, with "In-Depth Premium Support" available only for their highest "Himalaya" tier. We have found their basic support to be responsive for general inquiries and technical assistance with the platform's features.
The documentation is comprehensive, helping users resolve many common issues independently. However, for complex enterprise-level issues or advanced configuration, the premium support might be a necessary upgrade.
Barracuda has a reputation for responsive customer service, and our experience with their DFP support aligned with this. The G2 review also highlights extremely responsive customer service. As part of a larger suite, support is typically integrated, providing a unified contact point for all Barracuda products.
They offer various support channels, which is beneficial for businesses of all sizes. The availability of support from MSPs and resellers also adds an extra layer of assistance for managed services clients.
Who should use each product
Suitability
URIports is highly suitable for organizations of all sizes, from SMBs to large enterprises, particularly those with complex email environments or a need for multi-policy reporting (DMARC, CSP, NEL). Its granular control and extensive feature set appeal to technically proficient teams and those who prioritize deep analytical capabilities. For MSPs, URIports offers features like team access and OpenID Connect (OIDC) in higher tiers, which are essential for managing multiple client domains efficiently. Its flexible domain bundling also caters to growth.
For SMBs, the lower tiers offer an accessible entry point to robust DMARC monitoring. Larger enterprises benefit from the extensive data retention, higher report volumes, and advanced security features like Certificate Monitor. The platform's comprehensive nature makes it a strong contender for any organization taking a proactive stance on email security.
Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection is best suited for organizations already using or planning to adopt the broader Barracuda Email Protection suite. It is a strong choice for businesses primarily concerned with DMARC enforcement for brand protection, especially mid-market and enterprise clients. For MSPs and resellers, Barracuda offers specific partner programs, indicating strong support for managed services. SMBs might find it comprehensive if they require the full Email Protection suite, but as a standalone DMARC solution, it is less flexible than URIports.
The integration within the Barracuda ecosystem makes it particularly attractive for enterprises seeking a unified security vendor. While its DMARC features are robust for fraud protection, organizations looking for broader email security policy monitoring beyond DMARC might find its scope limited compared to URIports if DFP is considered in isolation.

Drawbacks and what to watch out for
URIports offers extensive features but its most in-depth support and some advanced features are restricted to higher-priced tiers, which can be a consideration for smaller budgets. We also noted that its public G2 review presence is currently minimal. Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection, while effective, is primarily an add-on to the broader Barracuda Email Protection suite, making it less flexible as a standalone DMARC solution. We also found a mention of slight network lag in one review, which could be a concern for some environments.
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.
0 / 5(0)
5 / 5(1)
No G2 reviews
G2 is the most popular review platform for DMARC products, so this is a strong signal that this product is not popular.
Excellent protection for a mid-sized non-profit.

What do you like best about Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection?Our school for autistic adults has benefitted immensely from the Barracuda products we use for cybersecurity, and their Domain Fraud Protection is an excellent addition to the essentials suite. It is relatively inexpensive compared to competitors and provides comprehensive DMARC services which protect our brand from being digitally impersonated and used to launch attacks. This was a real problem for us prior to purchasing Barracuda DFP, but has not been a worry in the 7+ years since we installed the software. Our IT specialist reports that their customer service is extremely responsive and that the software itself is simple to manage. Highly recommended.What do you dislike about Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection?The only downside we've experienced to Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection is a slight network lag. This has not been too noticeable, however, and the extra protection has been well worth the additional system load.What problems is Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?We used to suffer domain spoofing attacks multiple times a year, but Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection has successfully stopped virtually all of these kinds of attacks since we began using it on our network in 2015.
