VirusTotal Reviews

VirusTotal is a good tool to scan malicious things as URL, documents, and files. With the help of this tool, you can scan any type of URL and check if this URL is flagged by any security vendor or not, and in this way it will help you to analyze the security-related issues within the URL. The best part of this product is it has a larger database that connects to all high-profile security tools and then provides their view on your query. So by using this tool, you can be assured that the malicious content you are scanning has been flagged by anyone else in the world right now or not. Apart from basic scanning, it will provide you with complete details about your scan result as the basic properties of a scan like the algorithm used on that URL or File, file type, file size and if it is URL then it will unwrap the URL.

You can integrate VirusTotal with other security applications like Knowbe4's PhishER and take full advantage of this tool with that application. The integration is very easy and will take less than an hour to integrate properly. The use of this tool is very easy and you just need to copy and paste your URl=L or upload te file and it will start the scanning.

VirusTotal depends on other security tools, so if they fails to detect any issue then it also fails as it does not have its own primary setup.

VirusTotal also fails to detect zero-day attack-related files and URLs and it will give a green signal for that URL and File.

The thing with VirusTotal is that a number of files and URLs can be scanned by multiple antivirus tools and the report of each would be displayed. We do get a lot of critical findings like leaked emails and passwords through its connect with multiple security vendors makes it a very special security tool.

There is nothing much to dislike as it is a complete security package.

We do work for multiple clients providing brand protection and VirusTotal plays a crucial role in triaging us with crucial alerts that may be a Threat to our clients.

VirusTotal is our main source of file and URL analysis. The user interface is fantastic, the community is great, and the data is second to none that VirusTotal can provide.

There is not a thing I do not like about Virus Total.

Virus Total provides immediate analysis of threats using many sourced authorities in security and malware management.

VirusTotal is a very good tool that will help you analyze the URL, datasheet, and documents very well. This tool will help you in the Phishing related emails that contains malicious URL and documents. This tool is very easy to use. You just need to copy and paste the URL or upload the file directly and it will analyze that URL, IP, or file and give you the result from top cyber security analysis tools like Abusix, Antiy-AVL, Acronis, and other similar tools. It will verify your data from 92 security vendors and then tell you which security vendor has flagged this URL or data as malicious. Then in the details tab, you will know the history of that URL, HTTP response, serving IP address, status code, body length, hash, and header and it will also rewrite the URL in its original form. It has a community from where you can see if anyone from the VirusTotal community has flagged this URL or added any comment about that.

You can integrate the VirusTotal with other software as well like I have integrated it with the Knowbe4 PhishER to scan the reported emails. It is easy to integrate and implement.

VirusTotal has some limitations because it depends on other security vendor analyses. So, it fails sometime to detect a zero-day attack and fails to detect URLs with 100% accuracy.

VirusTotal is helping us to analyze phishing and malicious URLs and documents without taking help from any sandbox. It is connected with more than 90 security vendors and shows the result of your search with the vendor details like which security vendor has flagged this URL or file as malicious. It is helping us to in deep analyses of malware without using the sandboxes. It is integrated with our Phishing reported tool PhishER and helping us to directly scan the reported emails without going to anywhere else. With this tool, our effort has been reduced a lot in terms of reported email verification and processing. It gives the proper details like IP, from where it is generated, and any other organizations facing the same attacks. In the details section, you will find the details of that malicious content like when it was first submitted, when last, and the last analysis. It will rewrite the URL in its original form.

Fast, easy to use, merge of EDR reviews.

I need much more details. Especially under community reviews there should be more explanations.

malware check, hash check

VirusTotal hosts more than 60 antivirus engines in one place, making it way easier to test suspicious files against all 60+ engines at once. I use it regularly, especially for files downloaded from the web.

As far as I know, the only web-focused antimalware scanning engine currently available on VirusTotal is ClamAV, I think it would be better to include more similar engines like ImunifyAV to help strengthen the coverage of this critical category.

Testing the security and integrity of suspicious files before utilization.

Virus total has been amazing to use as an IT Professional. The ability to drop uknown files, hashes and URLs and get quick results about it's potential maliciousness is amazing. This was greatly improved when we integrated it with PhishER. We can scan numerous URLS and help automate responses to malicious emails.

The publicizing of files that are uploaded to paid users isn't super clear. We've had issues with staff uploaded PDFs with customer data not realizing this limitation.

The risk of malicious files and URLs sent via email is a serious threat. VirusTotal helps the organization identify these threats quickly, so that response can move quickly.

Virustotal helps organisations detect malicious files, URLs, and domains in our environment.

If you want to detect if a particular exe is suspicious or not, then you have to upload that file in Virustotal then it will give us an output how many security vendors have flagged this malware.
