User Testimonials
	CompTIA ISAO	VirusTotal
Likelihood to Recommend	CompTIA CompTIA is well suited for both new and experiences IT professionals to study and gain certifications that will help them in their professional lives. The functionality is great for client service as you can access the platform at any time and study on your own time. It may be less appropriate for someone who prefers live learning. Incentivized Thomas Baker, CFE, MBA Risk Advisory Manager Read full review	Google VirusTotal is perfectly suited as a tool to help security professionals analyze files and URLs that require further analysis to determine security risks in the environment. It truly is a must-have in this world we live in! Incentivized Brian Coyne Senior Microsoft Engineer Read full review
Pros	CompTIA On demand access Certification database/requirements Digital connection to professionals Incentivized Thomas Baker, CFE, MBA Risk Advisory Manager Read full review	Google Fast file scanning No agent required Available from anywhere Incentivized WP Warren Pearson IT Manager Read full review
Cons	CompTIA Testing database Increased knowledge transfer for additional certifications Increased professional development after passing tests Incentivized Thomas Baker, CFE, MBA Risk Advisory Manager Read full review	Google I'm not sure VirusTotal can improve this themselves but just keeping up with the evolving "known" threat landscape is tough so even though VirusTotal is very good, nothing is 100% effective in this space. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	CompTIA CompTIA was selected due to the numerous certifications that they offer and the ability for professionals to stack the certificates and gain additional knowledge all on one platform. The other platforms we have used have been very limited in the number and topics of certifications that were offered where CompTIA thrives in this area. Incentivized Thomas Baker, CFE, MBA Risk Advisory Manager Read full review	Google Honestly, we have always used VirusTotal, its a leader in the industry and meets our needs perfectly so we have never had the need to look elsewhere Incentivized Brian Coyne Senior Microsoft Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	CompTIA Increased fees for those with certifications Additional CEUs that professionals can take/teach Trustmarks that we can market to clients Incentivized Thomas Baker, CFE, MBA Risk Advisory Manager Read full review	Google Extremely useful to confirm if a file is suspicious or not Incentivized WP Warren Pearson IT Manager Read full review
