What do you like best about Google VirusTotal?

Every day, Google's sophisticated threat detection and security features shield billions of users like us. One of Google's many detection layers to shield its users from malware and other harmful files is its interaction with VirusTotal.

Any hyperlink, unknown file, domain, URL etc. can be easily detected using this awesome virus total thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google VirusTotal?

sometimes new unknown files can't be traceable, or may not be available on the database.

But this seems to be happening every threat intelligence service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google VirusTotal solving and how is that benefiting you?

initially we were using it as free by uploading samples, URL, HAshes etc. Later on we integrated it with our internal tools via API. Then samples are being uploaded automatically whenever we found an malicious or grayware content, we just trigger the playbook and then everthing goes as per the process.

This whole process, going so smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
