See why MSPs choose Palisade over Red Sift OnDMARC

Switching to Palisade is straightforward. Our onboarding team handles the entire transition—we migrate all domain data, sync with your PSA (ConnectWise, HaloPSA, Autotask), and get you running within days. Your clients see no interruption, and you immediately benefit from simpler operations, transparent pricing, and MSP-focused features.

Red Sift has excellent features like Red Sift Radar AI and dynamic SPF, but Palisade is purpose-built for MSPs. Palisade offers an AI Agent that executes enforcement automatically, native ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask integrations, white-label prospecting reports, pay-as-you-go billing, hosted SPF, a 100% DNS uptime guarantee, BIMI discounts, hosted MTA-STS, and dedicated onboarding teams. Red Sift doesn’t advertise named, native PSA integrations or white-label reporting—for an MSP, that means more manual work connecting DMARC to your existing workflow.

Red Sift Radar is an LLM assistant that helps you troubleshoot—it answers questions and suggests fixes, but your team still executes the changes. Palisade’s AI Agent is proactive: it continuously monitors domains, detects alignment issues in real time, recommends enforcement moves, and executes policy changes automatically. That difference is why Palisade customers typically reach p=reject in days rather than weeks—enforcement isn’t waiting on human intervention.

Palisade is built specifically for MSPs. Red Sift is a broader security platform that serves enterprises, agencies, and MSPs through a partner program. Palisade integrates natively with ConnectWise, HaloPSA, and Autotask, supports unlimited clients per tenant, white-labels all reports for your branding, offers dedicated MSP onboarding, and structures pricing around your margins. If DMARC for clients is your core workflow, a platform designed only for that job means less to learn and nothing to work around.

Red Sift’s entry-level Express tier starts at $9/month, but its MSP-grade tiers (Essentials, Enterprise, and Premier) are custom-quoted annual contracts, so costs are hard to predict up front. Palisade offers transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing with no annual commitment and no volume metering. Palisade also includes white-label reports, hosted SPF, and BIMI discounts as standard rather than as tier upgrades.

Red Sift’s own advertised average time to full DMARC enforcement is 6–8 weeks. Palisade’s AI Agent automates discovery, validation, and enforcement simultaneously, so clients typically reach p=reject in days. In internal Palisade case studies, customers have reported open rates climbing from 35% to 50% and 21% more meetings booked after reaching enforcement.

Absolutely. Palisade scales without performance degradation, and pricing stays proportional as you add domains. Red Sift scales too, but its MSP tiers are custom-quoted, which makes costs harder to forecast as your domain count grows. Palisade’s AI Agent actually becomes more efficient at scale, identifying patterns and optimizing enforcement timelines across your entire client base.

Palisade’s AI Agent discovers all sending sources before recommending enforcement, validates SPF and DKIM alignment, identifies third-party senders, and never recommends enforcement without testing for blocking risk. Palisade’s hosted SPF eliminates flattening errors, and we back DNS with a 100% uptime guarantee. Red Sift provides strong tooling here too—the difference is that Palisade’s agent validates and executes for you, rather than relying on your team to apply each change.

Red Sift’s support is well rated (4.9/5 on G2, with a 9.8/10 quality-of-support score). Palisade goes further: every customer gets a dedicated onboarding team with North American “email geek” support—proactive experts who own your enforcement strategy, handle escalations, and stay with you throughout the process. We also provide full sales enablement to help you position DMARC as a revenue opportunity for your MSP.
