Palisade vs DMARCIAN: Frequently Asked Questions

Palisade classifies sending sources from DMARC data and checks SPF and DKIM alignment before enforcement moves forward. When a source cannot be identified confidently, an operator can review it. This lets the AI agent continue routine work without treating an ambiguous source as certain.

Palisade uses separate pricing models for separate buyers. IT teams choose a published flat monthly plan based on email volume, with 2–20 set-up domains by tier; adding domains to monitor is free and unlimited. MSPs pay per client domain at a rate that improves as their portfolio grows, with a minimum of 5 client domains, and client email volume is not metered. Enterprise pricing is custom. Compare those terms with the current dmarcian plan limits for your domains and message volume.

You can batch import domains into Palisade, then update each DMARC record so aggregate reports also reach Palisade. Both platforms can receive reports during the overlap. The AI agent begins investigating sources after the reports arrive, so you can evaluate the new workflow before retiring the old destination.

Yes. Palisade supports MSP portfolios with client domain groups, team permissions, client access, and native ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask integrations. The AI agent can work across the portfolio while each customer remains organized in the multi-tenant workspace.

Palisade's AI agent investigates sending sources, works through SPF and DKIM alignment, and proposes each policy step toward p=reject. The operator approves every policy and DNS change before it ships. dmarcian follows a more education-led, operator-driven model.

Palisade publishes self-serve IT-team plans sized by email volume, from $19 per month (20% off on annual billing), with 2–20 set-up domains by tier (adding domains is free and unlimited) and unlimited report retention on paid plans. MSPs get a free NFR domain and quoted, portfolio-based per-client-domain pricing with a minimum of 5 client domains and no client email metering. dmarcian packages plans by domain and message volume, so compare the current limits for the plan you are considering.

Palisade offers a 15-day full-product trial, and nothing is charged until it ends. Use it to evaluate the agentic DMARC workflow before migrating from dmarcian. Your own MSP domain can remain on the free NFR plan after the trial.

Palisade starts analyzing a domain after its DMARC reports arrive. The time needed to reach p=reject depends on its sending sources, SPF and DKIM alignment, report volume, and DNS access. The AI agent carries the routine investigation and configuration work, but it does not promise an instant deliverability change.

Deliverability shouldn't be affected by switching DMARC providers. You're only changing where your DMARC reports are sent, not how your email is delivered. Palisade monitors your traffic throughout the migration, so if anything looks misaligned you can address it before it impacts delivery.
