Improves security alerts and analysis with comprehensive insights
I would like to see improvements in the score consistency and accuracy. VirusTotal should add more details like those from competitors such as URL Void or Symantec URL Checker, which show the category of websites. The addition of a file selection option to analyze files would also enhance the service.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool provides remote protection using a console or installation console along with email security."
"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."
"The product is easy to use with coding, such as Python or Java, via its API."
"It gives detailed information about suspicious IPs, which is one of its most valuable features."
"It allows us to see if there have been previous reports on certain indicators of compromise, providing insights from other security professionals."
"It can scan the dark web and find if an email ID has been compromised. This is another area that we have not explored yet."
"The most valuable feature is the worldwide malware information database."
"VirusTotal provides 95% to 98% accurate information."
"I have never had any problems with stability or bugs while using VirusTotal."
"It is quite simple for anyone if they just want to check some suspicious URLs."
 

Cons

"Seqrite Antivirus could support antivirus software when the user's device is offline."

"VirusTotal has predefined reports, but there is a lot of manual effort involved."
"VirusTotal needs better advertisement and promotion, especially in the Middle East, since it is not yet widely recognized or popular in that region."
"VirusTotal is hard to understand because you need to know Google Docs to create queries, and it doesn't have documentation for that."
"The platform could improve in the areas of endpoints and networks."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in making some of the most useful features more accessible in the non-paid version."
"I would like to see an improved user interface and some automation."
"There should be room for improvement, particularly in the API side of things."
"I would like to see improved correlation with other threat intelligence sources, not just reliant on its own database, to enhance the database of threat intelligence that VirusTotal offers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"Seqrite Antivirus' licensing costs are yearly. I rate it an eight out of ten."
"We are using VirusTotal with free licenses, managing the license limits across three or four accounts, thus incurring no costs."
