Switching is straightforward. You can batch import all your domains into Palisade in minutes, update your DMARC records to point to Palisade's reporting address, and start receiving data right away. There's no downtime or gap in monitoring — both platforms can receive DMARC reports simultaneously while you migrate. Palisade also offers Easy API DNS deployment, so you can push DNS changes programmatically across your entire client base rather than updating records manually in each DNS provider — something PowerDMARC doesn't support. Most MSPs complete a full migration in under an hour, even with hundreds of domains, and a dedicated onboarding team is available to walk you through the process. Since Palisade uses pay-as-you-go billing with no commitments, there's no contract to negotiate — just sign up and start migrating.

The biggest differences come down to automation and MSP workflow efficiency. Palisade includes an AI Agent that automates DMARC deployment — it identifies your clients' sending sources, configures SPF and DKIM records, and enforces DMARC policies for you. PowerDMARC doesn't offer automated agent workflows. Palisade also includes white-label prospecting reports for sales conversations, Easy API DNS deployment to push changes across your entire fleet programmatically, native PSA integrations with ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask (PowerDMARC lacks major PSA integrations), hosted SPF (PowerDMARC only offers hosted DMARC, not hosted SPF), BIMI discounts, a 100% DNS uptime guarantee, a dedicated onboarding team, and a full sales enablement suite. Palisade also includes unlimited email volume on all plans, while PowerDMARC limits volume and charges extra above certain thresholds.

Palisade's AI Agent automates the actual work of DMARC deployment — it identifies the third-party apps your clients use to send email, configures SPF and DKIM records, and enforces DMARC policies to block unauthorized senders. It doesn't just show you reports and leave you to figure out the next step. The AI Workbench provides guided setup and troubleshooting, delivering results regardless of your team's technical skill level. PowerDMARC offers some AI-powered threat intelligence for analyzing IP addresses and flagging anomalies, but the key difference is that PowerDMARC's AI surfaces data for your review while Palisade's AI Agent does the work for you. The result is DMARC enforcement that's 10x faster than manual implementation.

Palisade is built for MSPs from the ground up. That means native PSA integrations with ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask so DMARC alerts flow directly into your existing ticketing workflows. A multi-tenant dashboard lets you manage thousands of domains from a single pane of glass. White-label prospecting reports let you generate branded email security assessments to win new business. And a full sales enablement suite — including ROI reporting and a growth hub — helps you sell email security as a recurring revenue service. PowerDMARC is built for everyone, not MSPs specifically. It lacks major PSA integrations, doesn't offer a dedicated onboarding team, provides only partial sales enablement, and uses commitment-based billing that creates margin uncertainty — making it harder to price your DMARC service profitably.

PowerDMARC uses commitment-based pricing with limited email volume — once you exceed their cap, you pay extra. This creates margin uncertainty for MSPs because your costs fluctuate based on your clients' email traffic, making it hard to price your DMARC service profitably. Palisade uses pay-as-you-go pricing with unlimited email volume on all plans. AI-powered automation, white-label prospecting reports, PSA integrations, hosted DMARC, hosted SPF, BIMI management with discounts, and a 100% DNS uptime guarantee are all included — no hidden fees, no tiered feature lockouts, no commitments. Palisade's MSP program includes a 30-day free trial so you can validate the platform across your client base before spending a dollar.

Palisade's AI Agent delivers DMARC enforcement 10x faster than manual implementation. The Smart DMARC Engine automatically identifies the third-party apps your clients use to send email, configures SPF and DKIM records correctly, and guides you to a p=reject policy without surprises. Customers have seen email open rates jump from 35% to 50% and meeting bookings increase by 21% after reaching full enforcement. With PowerDMARC, your team does most of this work manually — reviewing aggregate reports, identifying legitimate senders, and making DNS changes one at a time. PowerDMARC also lacks Easy API DNS deployment, so every record change requires logging into the DNS provider directly. That manual process typically takes weeks or months per domain rather than days.

Yes — Palisade was built for large-scale MSP operations. The multi-tenant dashboard lets you manage thousands of domains from a single pane of glass. Batch import domains, push DNS changes via Easy API deployment across your entire fleet, and let the AI Agent handle source classification and configuration at scale. Automated 24/7 monitoring alerts you when something needs attention, so you don't need to babysit configurations. White-label reporting generates branded client updates without manual work. With unlimited email volume and pay-as-you-go billing, you'll never hit a cap that forces a mid-contract upgrade. PowerDMARC's limited email volume, commitment-based billing, and lack of API DNS deployment create friction that compounds as your client base grows — costs become harder to predict and DNS changes remain a manual domain-by-domain process.

This is the biggest fear with DMARC, and it's valid — a misconfigured policy can block legitimate email. Palisade's Smart DMARC Engine automatically identifies the third-party apps your clients use to send email, giving you a clear picture of all legitimate sources before you move to enforcement. The AI Agent classifies sources intelligently and recommends the exact DNS changes needed, reducing the guesswork that leads to false positives. You can see exactly which emails would be affected before changing anything. With PowerDMARC, source classification is largely manual — your team reviews aggregate reports and decides which senders are legitimate. That's more time per domain and a higher risk of either blocking a real sender or delaying enforcement indefinitely out of caution.

Palisade provides North American-based customer support with a dedicated onboarding team — every customer is paired with a dedicated "email geek" for hands-on, responsive help. No next-business-day ticket queues. PowerDMARC is based in Oman and does not offer a dedicated onboarding team or North American support. Palisade's onboarding can be self-serve if you want to move fast — batch import domains, push DNS via API, and start monitoring in minutes. Or the onboarding team walks you through the entire process. Palisade also includes a full sales enablement suite to help you sell DMARC as a service to your clients — white-label prospecting reports, ROI reporting, and growth tools. PowerDMARC offers only partial sales enablement and no white-label prospecting reports.
