Overall Satisfaction with VirusTotal
I have been casually using and suggesting VirusTotal for years but my company [has] now formally [started to] integrate it into our anti-phishing software which utilizes the VirusTotal API to scan potentially malicious links and attachments.
- Provides high confidence scan results by utilizing a large number of resources in their network.
- It's easy for non-technical users!
- Their API functionality made it easy to integrate with our anti-phishing system.
- 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.
- The API functionality is a key part of our e-mail hygiene system.
- VirusTotal's multiple scan engines provides more trustworthy results over a single source scan.
- Teaching users to use VirusTotal allows for some self service and quicker turnaround for users with questions about whether links or files are "safe".
- The API integration with our anti-phishing system provides an extra degree of confidence in results vs. a single detection engine technology.
I'm not sure there's another product quite like VirusTotal. They seem fairly unique in their space. I have tried urlscan.io and I'm aware of Jotti but keep coming back to VirusTotal.
