Palisade vs PowerDMARC: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about switching from PowerDMARC to Palisade.

How does Palisade handle false positives / legitimate senders that fail DMARC?

Palisade classifies sending sources from DMARC data and checks SPF and DKIM alignment before enforcement moves forward. When a source cannot be identified confidently, the operator can review it instead of treating the classification as certain. This keeps the agent moving on routine work without hiding ambiguous traffic.

How fast can I get to a p=reject DMARC policy with Palisade?

Palisade's AI agent investigates sending sources and works through SPF and DKIM alignment before a domain moves toward p=reject. The timeline depends on the existing senders, report volume, DNS access, and any source that needs manual review. Palisade removes routine work from the process without promising an unsafe enforcement date.

Why do email identity and security go hand in hand?

To secure your identity and obtain a verified checkmark, you must demonstrate that your company is using top-level security protocols for your email operations by undergoing a compliance audit.

What is the onboarding experience like with Palisade?

Batch import your domains, point DMARC reporting to Palisade, and let the AI agent begin investigating sending sources as reports arrive. MSPs can also connect supported PSA systems to organize client domains. The time required depends on portfolio size, DNS access, and how quickly reports arrive.

What exactly do you mean by automated email security tools?

Autopilot refers to the work Palisade's AI agent carries between DMARC reporting and enforcement. It investigates sending sources, works through SPF and DKIM alignment, and proposes each policy step toward p=reject. Your team approves every policy decision and DNS change before it ships.

What happens if your verified email security protocols are not in place?

Malicious users could send emails from your domain, pretending to be you. The large majority of cyberattacks start with a phishing email.

Can I do a trial or pilot with Palisade before fully committing?

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

How soon can I expect to see results after using Palisade?

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.

Palisade pricing vs competitors

Palisade publishes self-serve IT-team pricing: flat monthly 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 receive a free NFR domain and quoted, portfolio-based per-client-domain pricing with a minimum of 5 client domains and no client email metering. Enterprise pricing is custom.

The product includes the DMARC agent, native ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask integrations, white-label prospecting reports, and hosted authentication records. Compare those inclusions with the specific competitor plan you are considering because competitor packaging can change.
