Flare vs. 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.

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

• 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.
