VirusTotal Reviews

The API provided by VirusTotal helps us determine the maliciousness of IP addresses.

The most valuable features of the product are the various API systems it provides. Using the API, allows us to check the reputation of IP addresses, hashes, or URIs, enabling us to implement an automation system in our environment.

The platform could improve in the areas of endpoints and networks.

We have been using VirusTotal for two years.

In our company, I work as a cybersecurity manager in our IT department. Approximately 15 executives in our team use VirusTotal.

We were using IP Quality Score previously but switched to VirusTotal because it is more affordable and easier to use via API. Additionally, it provides comprehensive reputation information about IPs and hashes.

VirusTotal provides the functionality as a SaaS service, making the initial setup straightforward.

We are using VirusTotal with free licenses, managing the license limits across three or four accounts, thus incurring no costs.

The product is easy to use with coding, such as Python or Java, via its API. However, it might be challenging for non-coders to utilize it effectively.

It is recommended due to its affordability and functionality. I rate the product an eight out of ten as it provides a variety of APIs.

Using VirusTotal is my responsibility in my current job. I have been utilizing it for security intelligence purposes.

It is developed by Google, which means its search algorithm and efficiency are higher than other tools. It is quite simple for anyone if they just want to check some suspicious URLs.

They can improve the telemetry. Whenever we handle a sample, they cannot provide any information about a victim. We need to guess which one is infected. It's also challenging because there's not enough information about the target.

I have been using VirusTotal for about six years, starting from my first job at Fortinet and currently using it at Trend Micro.

I have never had any problems with stability or bugs while using VirusTotal. It has never broken down.

I am not familiar with their support team. I know it's possibly hired by Google.

Positive

The setup can be difficult. It depends on whether someone has a cybersecurity background or not.

The pricing can be quite expensive, and it is dependent on usage.

I recommend VirusTotal for both people without a cybersecurity background and those with one since it provides intelligence from sixty vendors of antivirus engines.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Our primary use case is for information regarding malware and analyzing our samples once we are found in a cybersecurity forensic case.

The most valuable feature is the worldwide malware information database.

I would like to see an improved user interface and some automation.

I have been working with VirusTotal for the past two years.

Technical support is good but they could improve the time in handling cases.

Neutral

The initial setup was straightforward and easy. The implementation took about three days.

There is definitely a return on investment.

The pricing is very economical.

Everyone who works with malware, cybersecurity, or related fields should use VirusTotal. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate VirusTotal an eight.
