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.

I use VirusTotal to examine and manually investigate data leaks, compromised information, and malware. If some malware is targeted at our region, I try to find that with the hash in IoC and create alerts. For example, if some attacker creates ransomware and targets Turkey's financial sector, I write a query for that. After that, Google will show me the hash related to my research. After that, I add this hash to create alerts if a customer gets mail attacks related to this cache.

With VirusTotal, you can do a competitive landscape. For example, I use Kaspersky Endpoint solution antivirus. With VirusTotal, I can check for any hash, malware, file, domain, IP URL, or malicious URL, and Kaspersky stays clean. I can see if Kaspersky misses attacks.

VirusTotal is hard to understand because you need to know Google Docs to create queries, and it doesn't have documentation for that. If you write a specific query, you can find data leaks, mail issues, and incident responses. Google has three billion data for IP and domain. It's a huge database. Google doesn't have any understandable documentation for how to create queries.

I have been using VirusTotal for six months.

VirusTotal has amazing stability.

I rate VirusTotal ten out of ten for stability.

Around five people are using the solution in our organization.

I rate VirusTotal ten out of ten for scalability.

I was not 100% happy with VirusTotal's technical support because they don't have a solid structure. Two weeks ago, I needed a use case for the financial sector, and they couldn't share the use case.

Neutral

The solution's initial setup is easy, and I can do API integration with solutions.

VirusTotal is an expensive solution.

Overall, I rate VirusTotal ten 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.
