Palisade 96 vs Nameshield 39, 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.
Nameshield publishes a DNS REST API, but its DMARC service sheet does not state that the service includes programmatic access and it does not publish an MCP server. 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.
Merox processing and abnormal-behavior monitoring reduce manual analysis, while integration and alert-channel details remain limited. 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.

How much work it takes to get a domain from p=none to p=reject. 10 = the platform (or the vendor's team) gets you there without manual DNS edits.
Managed DNS operations, source analysis, SPF and DKIM remediation, and explicit progression to full reject make enforcement a service responsibility. Source (2026-08-28)
The DMARC Agent detects when a domain's authentication and alignment are ready for the next policy stage and proposes the move, but a human still approves and applies it, so it is not fully hands-off. Source (2026-07-29)
Expert guidance vs agent preparation
Nameshield's DMARC service is expert-assisted by design
Nameshield's public DMARC page describes a complete project shape rather than a bare report inbox. It lists platform setup, assistance publishing a policy across domains, SPF verification, recommendations about domain use, RUA report analysis, guidance to authenticate legitimate traffic with DKIM and SPF, and support through policy upgrades. Its stated endpoint is 100% of emails at p=reject, with tracking for unusual behavior and phishing attempts. The page presents this as support from Nameshield's team and tools. Source (2026-08-26)
That is real parity on the core DMARC outcome: both products can support a domain owner moving from observation toward enforcement. The difference is the operating model. Palisade's agent investigates every sender, drafts every fix, and proposes each policy step, with the customer approving before anything ships. Nameshield's public wording leaves the investigation, recommendation, and assistance with its experts and the customer's project team; it does not advertise an agent that carries the repeated work from finding to approved change.
- No AI agent advertised
- RUA report analysis
- Policy upgrade assistance
- Agent drafts and proposes
- Agent analyzes reports
- Agent proposes policy steps
- 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.
Reporting insight vs work execution
Merox provides the reporting foundation
Nameshield's English DMARC PDF identifies the platform used in the service as Merox and describes aggregate reports for all domains. Together with the live DMARC page's reference to RUA analysis, that establishes a reporting and analysis foundation for teams that need to understand legitimate sending sources, authentication results, and policy posture before tightening enforcement. The public material does not claim that Nameshield sits in the mail path, and the service is best understood as a reporting, guidance, and domain-security engagement. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)
For a single organization with a complex domain portfolio, that service framing can be useful when the buyer wants domain expertise alongside the DMARC work. For an internal IT group or MSP that repeats the same investigation across many domains, the important question is what happens after the report is read. Palisade is designed to turn sender evidence into a prepared SPF, DKIM, and policy workstream for approval, so the operator reviews a proposed next move instead of recreating the analysis and task list for every domain.
- Reports across all domains
- Analysis and recommendations
- No preparation agent advertised
- Portfolio reporting
- Agent analyzes and drafts fixes
- Agent prepares work for approval
DNS infrastructure vs record automation
Nameshield has a broader managed DNS layer
Nameshield DNS Premium is a separate but relevant part of the comparison. Its public page advertises Anycast DNS, DNSSEC, anti-DDoS filtering, failover, detailed statistics and reports, primary or secondary server use, and a SaaS management platform with access controls, two-factor authentication, and IP filtering. This gives Nameshield genuine parity on managed DNS infrastructure and makes the vendor relevant to teams that want domain registration, DNS, and security services considered together. Source (2026-08-26)
The boundary matters when comparing DNS hosting with authentication automation. Nameshield's DMARC page says its team assists with publishing policy and verifies SPF, while the DNS Premium page describes the underlying DNS service. Those pages do not advertise a public hosted-SPF flattening workflow or a delegated DMARC, SPF, and DKIM record product with documented setup mechanics. Palisade separates its two paths clearly: hosted records are served on redundant managed DNS, while Smart DNS Deployment writes approved records into the customer's own zone through a scoped connection to the DNS provider.

- Not advertised

- Redundant managed DNS
- Hosted SPF flattening

API access vs MSP operations
APIs are documented; MSP packaging is not
Nameshield does publish integration building blocks. Its developer portal documents APIs for user access, domain management, cyber-threat intelligence, DNS zone configuration, certificates, and events. The DNS documentation covers searching and editing zones and records, and the first-party Terraform provider manages DNS resources and data sources. That is meaningful parity for an engineering team that wants to automate domain or DNS administration through a documented interface. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26) Source 3 (2026-08-26)
What the public material does not establish is an MSP operating package. I found no advertised ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask connector, and no public description of client-domain tenancy, white-label DMARC reports, or per-client-domain pricing. That is an unknown about the offer, not a claim that Nameshield cannot support those arrangements. Ask directly if your service model depends on PSA tickets, delegated client workspaces, or a margin-friendly domain rate. Palisade publishes those MSP boundaries: portfolio-based per-client-domain pricing, a free NFR domain for the provider, and native ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask integrations. Source (2026-08-26) Source 2 (2026-08-26)

Dashboard access vs programmatic access
Nameshield's REST APIs and Brand Safety AI, with no published MCP server
Nameshield publishes RESTful APIs for users, domains, cyber-threat intelligence, DNS zones, certificates, and events. Its guide requires a Nameshield account with API access and an API token, but does not name a subscription tier. The developer homepage advertises domain-portfolio export and DNS-zone import and export through those APIs, but does not advertise outbound webhooks, an MCP server, or an AI-assistant integration. Separately, Nameshield's Brand Safety Chain Extended service advertises an in-house AI-based detection approach that finds domains with spelling and lexical similarity to a brand. That AI claim concerns brand-domain monitoring, not DMARC remediation (checked 2026-08-27). Source (2026-08-27) Source 2 (2026-08-27) Source 3 (2026-08-27)
Palisade publishes an MCP server and a REST API. Its agent investigates senders, drafts SPF and DKIM fixes, and proposes each policy step. A human approves before anything ships.

Nameshield pricing explained (and how Palisade compares)
Nameshield does not publish a public DMARC rate card. Its DMARC product page describes a contact-led service and lists the work included in the engagement, so the honest price comparison is between a quote-based expert service and Palisade's published self-serve and MSP models.
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
2 set-up domains, up to 100K emails a month
10 set-up domains, up to 1M emails a month
20 set-up domains, up to 2.5M emails a month
Client domains under management, any volume
Palisade’s figures are derived from its published tiers. Nameshield figures read from their pricing page on 2026-08-28. Plans and prices may have changed since.
How Nameshield prices
- Nameshield publishes no DMARC monthly price, per-domain rate, email-volume band, trial, or public plan ceiling on the DMARC page checked today.
- The public material describes a service engagement with expert support. Ask for the quote to separate software, implementation, DNS hosting, report retention, and ongoing monitoring so the scope can be compared with a self-serve platform.
- Nameshield's DNS Premium product describes DNS capabilities, but I found no public DMARC-specific price attached to those services (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 with 20% off on annual billing. Paid tiers have defined set-up-domain limits, while adding domains remains free and unlimited.
- Palisade's agent investigates every sender, drafts every fix, and proposes each policy step; you approve before anything ships. Nameshield's public DMARC material instead describes expert assistance, recommendations, and analysis.
- Palisade gives MSPs portfolio-based per-client-domain pricing, with a rate that improves as the portfolio grows, and includes the MSP's own domain as a free Not-For-Resale license. Nameshield's public DMARC pages do not publish an MSP rate model.
- Palisade includes API access on every plan, hosted records on redundant managed DNS, and Smart DNS Deployment for approved records written into the customer's own zone through a scoped, revocable connection.

What each one covers, and where it stops
Published facts only, read from each vendor's own material. Neither column describes a hands-on trial, because we have not run one.
Nameshield is an expert-assisted DMARC service from a domain-security partner. It includes platform setup, policy publication across domains, SPF verification, RUA report analysis, recommendations about legitimate traffic, and assistance with policy upgrades toward p=reject. The service uses Merox for aggregate reports across all domains and suits teams that want expert help with DMARC reporting and enforcement.
Nameshield also publishes DNS Premium with Anycast, DNSSEC, anti-DDoS filtering, failover, and primary or secondary server use. Its developer portal documents APIs for domains, DNS zones, certificates, cyber-threat intelligence, users, and events. Buyers follow a contact-led DMARC buying path because Nameshield publishes no public rate card, plan price, domain quota, or plan limit.
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.
- Provides RUA report analysis
- Provides policy upgrade assistance toward p=reject
- Provides SPF checks and recommendations
- Provides Anycast DNS with failover
- Provides REST API and Terraform support
- The agent investigates senders and drafts the fix, so the work arrives prepared rather than as a list of findings
- Hosted SPF, DKIM and DMARC on redundant managed DNS, so an approved change can be carried out rather than handed off
- Portfolio workflow for MSPs, with ConnectWise, HaloPSA and Autotask integrations and a free NFR domain
- An MCP server and a REST API, so the same data and workflow are reachable from the AI tools a team already uses
- Does not advertise an AI agent that investigates senders, drafts fixes, and proposes policy steps
- Does not advertise SPF flattening or lookup-limit remediation
- Does not advertise a publicly documented hosted DMARC, SPF, and DKIM record service
- Does not advertise named ConnectWise, HaloPSA, or Autotask integrations
- Does not publish a DMARC rate card or plan limits
- Every policy change waits for a human approval, by design: nothing ships on the agent's own authority
- MSP pricing is quoted per client domain rather than published as a rate card
- Plans are sized by monthly email volume, so a low-domain, high-volume sender lands on a higher tier than domain count alone suggests

Palisade vs Nameshield: FAQ
Does Nameshield support DMARC reporting?
Yes. Nameshield's public DMARC material describes RUA report analysis, and its DMARC PDF identifies aggregate reports for all domains through the Merox platform. The published service includes recommendations for authenticating legitimate traffic with SPF and DKIM.
Does Nameshield help move a domain to p=reject?
Yes. Nameshield says it assists with DMARC policy upgrades until 100% of emails are at p=reject. Its public wording describes expert assistance and recommendations rather than an AI agent carrying out each step.
Does Nameshield have an AI enforcement agent?
Nameshield does not advertise one in the public DMARC material checked on August 26, 2026. The pages describe platform setup, SPF verification, RUA report analysis, recommendations, and expert assistance. Palisade's agent investigates senders, drafts fixes, and proposes each policy step for approval.
How much does Nameshield DMARC cost?
Nameshield does not publish a public DMARC price or plan matrix. Its DMARC page uses a contact-led flow, so ask for a quote that itemizes implementation, software, DNS hosting, retention, monitoring, and ongoing support.
Does Nameshield offer an API?
Yes. Nameshield documents APIs for domain management, DNS zones and records, users, certificates, cyber-threat intelligence, and events. Its first-party Terraform provider also documents DNS resources and data sources. The public docs do not present a separate DMARC reporting API.
Is Nameshield a good fit for an MSP?
It depends on the commercial and operating terms in the quote. Nameshield's public pages show domain, DNS, and DMARC expertise, but do not advertise MSP-specific multi-tenancy, white-label DMARC reporting, PSA integrations, or per-client-domain pricing. Palisade is a closer fit when those MSP mechanics and an agent-prepared enforcement workflow are the deciding criteria.
Switching from Nameshield takes three steps
- 1
Inventory the current Nameshield scope
List the domains, current DMARC rua destinations, DNS ownership, and any Nameshield services included in the engagement. Keep the quoted service scope and the technical record inventory separate so you can compare like with like.
- 2
Run both reporting destinations in parallel
Add Palisade's reporting destination alongside the current DMARC rua destination. Keep the existing policy in place while both platforms observe the same sending activity and you reconcile source findings.
- 3
Approve the next DNS and policy steps
Bring the domains into Palisade, review the agent's sender findings and proposed SPF, DKIM, and policy work, and approve only changes that match the legitimate sources you have confirmed. Remove the old destination after the new workflow is stable.
Our onboarding team handles the technical transition with you.
