VirusTotal
Chose VirusTotal
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
Chose VirusTotal
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.

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.

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • 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.
