Utilitarian vs Virtue Theory?

Virtue Theory does not judge right or wrong using any particular principle as a single standard but Utilitarianism does. Utilitarianism judges right and wrong based on the consequences of an action while Virtue Theory stress the need to weigh all the relevant factors and judge from the individual’s position.
