Overall Satisfaction with VirusTotal

VirusTotal is used to analyze any suspicious files that come into the business via multiple methods - from suspected malware that may be blocked by our email filters but claimed as a false positive by users, to files that may have a suspicious name or suspicious activity. VirusTotal is an excellent additional point of defense.
  • Fast file scanning
  • No agent required
  • Available from anywhere
  • Integration with common AV clients for a second opinion would be good
  • Ad-Hoc file checking
  • Confirming or denying suspicious files
  • Extremely useful to confirm if a file is suspicious or not

Do you think VirusTotal delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with VirusTotal's feature set?

Yes

Did VirusTotal live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of VirusTotal go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy VirusTotal again?

Yes

VirusTotal is good for ad-hoc analysis of suspicious files, but it's not a replacement for an anti-virus / anti-malware or EDR solution. It's a good way to confirm if suspicious activity is actually malicious or benign.
