ReversingLabs provides us with easy-to-understand, conclusive file classifications, compared to VirusTotal where we have to analyze file analysis results.
VP of Threat Intelligence, Large FSI
ReversingLabs delivers unmatched file coverage with support for over 4800 file types, along with the ability to fully deconstruct multi-gigabyte and multi-layered files to uncover malware at the deepest levels and fastest speeds in the industry.
VirusTotal is limited on multiple fronts, supporting only a fraction of file types and file size maximums when compared to ReversingLabs.
Moreover, VirusTotal cannot match ReversingLabs’ ability to analyze and classify the threat level of complex files in just mere seconds, while also providing more comprehensive metadata extraction for the most context and enrichment.
ReversingLabs provides a definitive, verified threat verdict. This eliminates any guesswork to significantly reduce time-consuming false positives, enabling SOC teams to focus on the threats that matter most.
VirusTotal only provides source classification results, leaving the user to come to their own conclusion. For example, would you assume a file is malicious if 5 antivirus vendors find malware? How about 5 antivirus vendors plus 3 sandbox vendors? What can you trust to be enough?
ReversingLabs delivers the definitive threat classification and final verdict VirusTotal cannot produce.
Unlike VirusTotal, ReversingLabs’ threat repository and portfolio of solutions are built based on privacy and compliance, by default, ensuring sensitive and confidential data remains safe from prying eyes.
RL provides a private threat intelligence repository and private malware analysis solution by default, not as a “premium” add-on like with VirusTotal.
VirusTotal not only charges extra for a private analysis solution, they only provide a limited set of analysis capabilities in private mode, so customers end up paying more for less.
ReversingLabs’ world-class threat intelligence and malware analysis solutions are built on more than 15 years of in-house threat research and development.
Our AI-driven, proprietary binary analysis and multi-factor threat classification technology provide the deepest levels of visibility and unmatched malware insights into the largest, most complex files – far beyond the capabilities of VirusTotal.
This is why ReversingLabs is the trusted provider of threat intelligence to cybersecurity companies worldwide to power and enhance their security products and services.
SOC teams need expert support and timely responses from their security vendors, not just email correspondence and community forums.
ReversingLabs provides live, hands-on support, backed by dedicated engineers and customer success teams to ensure issues get resolved fast and correctly, such as false positives.
With VirusTotal, users don’t have the ability to speak live with a real person. This is a critical gap, especially when time is of the essence, as it usually is with enterprise security needs.
*100GB supported with ReversingLabs Spectra Detect solution.
**VirusTotal’s file repository is not fully available for searches. If a user searches for data beyond the last 365 days, VirusTotal will shrink their index, causing the result-set to be drastically reduced.
