What we like most about Island is that it brings security, visibility, and control directly into the browser without making the user experience feel unfamiliar. Users can continue working in a browser environment that feels natural, while administrators gain much more granular control over SaaS access, data movement, policy enforcement, and risky browser activity. The standout strengths are: Granular policy control: Island allows us to create policies based on users, groups, applications, and specific browser actions, which is much more flexible than relying only on network or endpoint controls. Strong administrative visibility and governance: The admin console gives us useful insight into browser activity and helps enforce security and compliance requirements in a more targeted way. Good end-user experience: The browser feels familiar to users, which helps with adoption and reduces training requirements compared with tools that significantly change workflows. Data protection capabilities: Controls around copy/paste, downloads, uploads, printing, screenshots, and application access are valuable for reducing the risk of data loss. Enterprise-focused design: The product feels purpose-built for business use cases rather than being a consumer browser with management features added later.

Policy configuration is no streamlined. Cannot link all policies for 1 team. Cannot promote polices from test to production. Much time is spent on new modules (at a cost) vs. the base browser issues. The Extension continues to cause issues in our environment. The Management Console does not allow roles to limit access based on our current organization - we will have to add resources or restructure to use many features and provide dept specific access.
