DMARC vendor alternatives

Looking for a Proofpoint EFD alternative?

Proofpoint Email Fraud Defense is an enterprise DMARC product with hosted authentication services and large-scale lookalike domain discovery. Here is what to check before you replace it, and how to move without losing visibility.

When to stay with Proofpoint EFD

It is a natural fit for organisations that already buy Proofpoint and want lookalike detection at its scale. Switching has a cost, so it is only worth doing if a gap below matters to you.

What to ask before you decide

We did not find these on the Proofpoint EFD pages we checked on 2 November 2026. That does not mean they are missing, so ask Proofpoint EFD directly. This is where yourDMARC stands on each:

✓Hosted MTA-STS: Yes on paid plans, with TLS-RPT
✓Compliance framework mapping: Yes, email and DNS checks mapped to named frameworks

See every fact with its source in the full comparison with Proofpoint EFD.

How to switch without a gap in your reports

Copy your current DMARC, SPF and BIMI records with the domain scanner, so you have a record of what is published.
Add the new rua address next to the old one. A DMARC record can list several, so both vendors see the same reports.
Compare the two for a couple of weeks, until the new tool lists all the senders you expect.
If a vendor hosts your records, publish the same policy with the new provider and repoint the record. Keep your policy as it is during the move.
Remove the old rua address, then confirm the result with the DMARC checker.

Try it next to what you have now

Adding a second rua address changes nothing about delivery, so you can compare on your own domain before you decide.

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose DMARC reports if I move away from Proofpoint EFD?

Not if you overlap. A DMARC record can list more than one rua address, so add the new vendor next to the old one, compare the two, and remove the old address once you are satisfied.

What if Proofpoint EFD hosts my DNS records?

Export or copy the published record values before you change anything, publish the same policy with the new provider, and repoint the record. Do not lower your policy during the move.
