Island

Island’s enterprise browser is a bold bet: instead of layering security on top of existing browsers, it rebuilds the browser with security and AI controls baked in. This is its biggest strength—and its biggest commitment. If you’re already grappling with BYOD risks, third-party contractor access, or the chaos of AI shadow use, Island offers a clean, centralized answer. IT teams we talk to praise how quickly they can onboard users without MDM or heavy agents. The Forrester TEI report cites 344% ROI, largely from VDI reduction and productivity gains. But there are caveats. Switching browsers is a behavioral change; users may resist leaving Chrome or Edge. Also, Island’s pricing is contact-only, which means it’s likely out of reach for SMBs. Compared to Talon or Citrix, Island feels more modern—tighter AI integration, less infrastructure. However, if your stack is heavily invested in legacy VPNs or you need deep DLP that extends beyond the browser (e.g., endpoint-wide controls), Island alone won’t cut it. Real-world caveat: rollouts work best when you start with a specific pain point (contractor access) and expand, rather than a full rip-and-replace. Bottom line: pick Island if you’re ready to bet on the browser as the new operating model for enterprise work.

Island is the enterprise browser platform that natively integrates security, AI, and network controls to create a unified work environment. Designed for IT and security teams, it enables Zero Trust access, safe AI adoption, and granular data protection—all within the browser itself. Key features include Enterprise AI for controlled GenAI usage, Enterprise Network with Perfect Packet architecture for modern SASE, and built-in data leakage prevention. Island supports diverse use cases like BYOD workforce enablement, contractor onboarding, and VDI reduction, delivering a 344% ROI per Forrester. Unlike bolted-on security tools, Island embeds protection into the browser, reducing complexity and improving user experience.
