Palisade vs DMARC360
DMARC360 vs Palisade in 2026
DMARC360 is CTM360's platform for collecting and analyzing DMARC data, finding email sources, and deploying email-security frameworks. Palisade takes a different operating approach: its AI agent investigates the work, drafts the fixes, and leaves each change for your approval.
Our verdict: Pick DMARC360 if you want CTM360's broader cybersecurity platform alongside DMARC implementation, reporting, and analyst support. Pick Palisade if you want an AI agent to carry the investigation and configuration work through each approved enforcement step.

Palisade 96 vs DMARC360 50, and why
Both products are scored on the same eight dimensions the comparison hub uses, so the figures here are the figures there. Four are derived from vendor facts that each carry a source and a checked date. Four are editorial, marked as such below, and each states its reasoning and its source.
Each dimension is out of 10 and the total is the raw sum out of 80, rescaled to 100 — the raw figure is printed beside it so the conversion is checkable rather than a black box. Scored on what each vendor publishes, not on how the product feels in use. Editorial dimensions last reviewed 2026-08-30.
How reachable the product is from your own software and AI tools. 10 = a documented API on every plan plus a published MCP server. 6 = an API, gated to a tier or to a sales conversation. 3 = no programmatic access advertised.
DMARC360 does not publish a documented API or MCP server on its current product page (checked 2026-08-28). Source (2026-08-28)
Palisade publishes a REST API and a remote MCP server on every plan, making the same domain data and remediation workflows available to connected software. Source (2026-08-30)
How much of the report analysis is done for you. 10 = the platform turns raw report data into a prioritised, actionable queue on its own.
The platform monitors sending sources and traffic patterns, performs automated issue analysis, and enriches findings with impersonation intelligence. Source (2026-08-28)
Report data is analysed into a prioritised list of sender, SPF, DKIM and DMARC issues, so nobody reads raw XML. Source (2026-07-29)
How much of the work the vendor's own software does. 10 = it identifies the sending sources, drafts the SPF and DKIM fixes each one needs, and proposes the next policy step. 6 = it applies the records for you, but a person decides what to fix and when to advance. 3 = it reports, and every change is yours to make. A vendor whose team does the work rather than its software scores here on the software alone.

Guidance vs agent execution
DMARC360's implementation model
DMARC360 frames implementation as an issues workflow. Its implementation page says the platform identifies vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in email-security frameworks, classifies issues by impact, and supplies remediation steps in one place. It also advertises alerts when an issue is detected or resolved, delivered through email or the browser. Source (2026-08-26)
Palisade is built around a different division of labor. Its agent investigates every sender, drafts every fix, and proposes each policy step; your team approves before anything ships. That matters when the problem is not finding a dashboard, but getting through the repeated work of identifying legitimate senders, preparing SPF and DKIM changes, and moving a domain toward enforcement with a review at every step.
- No DMARC agent advertised
- Automated issue guidance
- Agent drafts and proposes
- Agent drafts proposed fixes
- Investigates. Works out what is sending as your domain, and which of it is legitimate.
- Drafts the fix. Prepares the SPF and DKIM record changes each sender needs, rather than describing them.
- Proposes the policy step. Moves toward p=reject when the evidence supports it. You approve before anything ships.
Visibility vs guided resolution
Reporting, senders, and remediation
DMARC360's reporting module gives operators a simplified view of DMARC reports and recipient feedback. CTM360 says the module helps identify issues that affect deliverability, while its SPF and DKIM view tracks progress on those frameworks. The main task is visibility: understand which sources are sending on behalf of the domain and where authentication needs attention. Source (2026-08-26)
The implementation page adds automated issue identification and automated, optimized remediation solutions. That is genuine parity with Palisade on detecting problems and organizing fixes. The distinction is what happens after the issue card appears: DMARC360's public copy describes a platform and support team, while Palisade's agent carries the investigation and draft configuration work forward for approval. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)
- Report collection and analysis
- Source monitoring with SPF/DKIM
- Agent-led sender analysis
- Agent reviews sender status
- Investigates. Works out what is sending as your domain, and which of it is legitimate.
- Drafts the fix. Prepares the SPF and DKIM record changes each sender needs, rather than describing them.
- Proposes the policy step. Moves toward p=reject when the evidence supports it. You approve before anything ships.
Protocol range vs workflow focus
Protocol coverage beyond DMARC
DMARC360 covers more than aggregate-report viewing. Its public product page lists hosted MTA-STS, MTA TLS Reporting, and hosted BIMI, alongside source monitoring, impersonation insights, and automated issue analysis. Its reports module also gives operators SPF and DKIM status information, so the public feature set spans the main email-authentication records and adjacent transport controls. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)
Palisade's hosted-record surface includes SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI, and MTA-STS, but the buying question is not only protocol count. If your team wants CTM360's security context and analyst support around email security, DMARC360 is a reasonable narrow fit. If you want one agent to work across sender discovery, authentication configuration, and the path to p=reject, Palisade is the more direct fit for that operating model.

Partner access vs MSP operations
MSP workflow and platform boundaries
CTM360 has a partner program and describes reseller and MSSP opportunities around its consolidated cybersecurity platform. Its public pages also mention outbound integrations across Splunk, Slack, JIRA, and more. Those pages do not describe a DMARC-specific multi-tenant client console, white-label DMARC reports, or ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask integrations. That is an evidence boundary, not a claim that the product cannot support those workflows in a private engagement. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)
For an MSP, that leaves an important fit question to ask in a sales conversation: how are client domains separated, how are reports branded, how are recurring DNS tasks assigned, and which PSA or API path creates the operational record? Palisade's MSP product is explicit about the operating model: multi-tenant management, native ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask integrations, and per-client-domain pricing that does not meter client email volume. Those are the areas to compare directly before switching.
Native PSA integrations
Palisade imports client domains straight from these three. DMARC360's own coverage is stated above, from their site.
- ConnectWise PSA
- Autotask
- HaloPSA
- Not advertised

CTM360's Agentic AI and no published DMARC360 MCP listing
CTM360 advertises Agentic AI for threat detection, phishing analysis, attack-surface intelligence, and incident investigations. Its DMARC360 product page describes DMARC data collection, email-traffic analysis, framework deployment, and analyst support. The public sitemap lists no developer portal, REST or GraphQL API reference, or MCP server, so CTM360 does not advertise a documented customer API or AI-assistant connection for DMARC360 (checked 2026-08-27).

DMARC360 pricing explained (and how Palisade compares)
CTM360 publishes DMARC pricing as the DMARC Compliance module in its consolidated-platform pricing page. The page lists a free Community Edition and four annual tiers for email-sending domains; the DMARC360 brand page itself directs visitors to CTM360's pricing and contact flows.
What you'd actually pay
The same five buyer sizes on every comparison, so a shape carries from one page to the next.
1 domain, up to 1,000 emails a month
Community Edition: 1 email-sending domain, 5,000 monthly email volume
2 set-up domains, up to 100K emails a month
Restricted: 2 email-sending domains, 100,000 monthly email volume
10 set-up domains, up to 1M emails a month

No MSP-specific or per-domain rate is published
Palisade’s figures are derived from its published tiers. DMARC360 figures read from their pricing page on 2026-08-28. Plans and prices may have changed since.
How DMARC360 prices
- The published figures are starting prices, not a complete quote for every deployment. CTM360's page labels DMARC as an add-on/module within its consolidated platform.
- The pricing comparison shows a monthly email-volume allowance and a data-visibility window for each tier. The page also says DMARC managed service at the base price covers one brand with one primary domain and its subdomains; extra primary domains or brands incur additional charges.
- The Community Edition is free access to CTM360's platform for one authorized user per organization. CTM360's Community Edition terms say the platform can help organizations implement DMARC on email-sending domains, but they do not present it as a full equivalent of every paid DMARC tier (checked 2026-08-26).
How Palisade prices
- Palisade publishes a free plan for one domain and up to 1,000 emails per month, then flat monthly IT-team plans sized by email volume from $19/month. Its MSP model is portfolio-based per client domain, with a free Not-For-Resale domain for the MSP's own operation.
- Palisade's agentic workflow is the main pricing comparison, not a promise that every vendor's plan maps one-to-one. The agent investigates senders, drafts SPF/DKIM fixes, and proposes policy steps for approval before anything ships.
- Palisade offers a 15-day full-product trial, and signup plus the trial do not require a credit card. DMARC360's Community Edition is free access that CTM360 reviews before granting, while paid DMARC tiers use request-proposal flows.

DMARC360 is CTM360's platform for collecting and analyzing DMARC data, finding email sources, and deploying email-security frameworks. Its implementation workflow identifies vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, classifies issues by impact, and supplies remediation steps and alerts. The platform is aimed at teams that want DMARC reporting, source monitoring, and guidance within CTM360's broader cybersecurity platform.
CTM360 publishes DMARC pricing as the DMARC Compliance module in its consolidated-platform pricing page. It lists a free Community Edition and four annual tiers for email-sending domains. The Community Edition includes one email-sending domain, 5,000 monthly email volume, one month of data visibility, and limited automated services.
Palisade is built around an agent that does the DMARC work rather than reporting on it. It identifies every sending source, drafts the SPF and DKIM changes each one needs, and proposes the next policy step when the evidence supports it.
The agent investigates every sender, drafts every fix, and proposes each policy step, you approve before anything ships.

Palisade vs DMARC360: FAQ
What is DMARC360?
DMARC360 is CTM360's email-security platform for collecting and analyzing DMARC data, monitoring sending sources, identifying issues, and supporting deployment of email-security frameworks. CTM360 also positions it inside a broader digital-risk and threat-intelligence platform.
What is the main difference between DMARC360 and Palisade?
DMARC360 presents an automated issue and reporting workflow with analyst support. Palisade is agentic: its agent investigates senders, drafts SPF and DKIM fixes, and proposes each policy step while your team approves before anything ships.
How much does DMARC360 cost?
CTM360's public DMARC pricing lists a free Community Edition, then Restricted from $300 per year, Basic from $2,000 per year, Advanced from $4,500 per year, and Enterprise from $8,000 per year. The page presents these as starting prices and lists email-volume, domain, and data-visibility limits by tier.
Does DMARC360 have a free option?
Yes. CTM360 publishes a free Community Edition. Its free-access page says access is for one authorized user per organization and is granted after CTM360 reviews the request; the public pricing page lists one email-sending domain and 5,000 monthly email volume for the Community Edition.
Does DMARC360 support MSPs?
CTM360 publishes a partner program that includes reseller and MSSP pathways. Its public DMARC pages do not document a DMARC-specific multi-tenant console, white-label reporting, or the ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask integrations that Palisade publishes, so an MSP should confirm those workflow details before buying.
Can I run DMARC360 and Palisade at the same time while switching?
Yes. DMARC aggregate reporting supports multiple report recipients, so you can send reports to both platforms during an evaluation period. Keep DNS and policy changes under your team's review, compare sender evidence in both systems, and retire the old destination only after the new workflow is ready.
Switching from DMARC360 takes three steps
- 1
Batch-import your domains
Bring your client domains into Palisade in bulk, or let your ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask integration sync them automatically.
- 2
Run both platforms in parallel
DMARC reporting supports multiple recipients, so Palisade and DMARC360 receive the same reports during the overlap window. Nothing breaks while you compare.
- 3
Cut DNS over on your schedule
Point records at Palisade's hosted infrastructure (redundant managed DNS), then retire the old setup when you're satisfied.
