    A powerful enterprise browser with excellent admin controls and a familiar user experience

    5.0
    May 29, 2026
    As both an end user and administrator, Island has delivered a strong balance of usability, security, and administrative control. From the user side, the browser feels familiar and does not create unnecessary friction in day-to-day work. From the admin side, Island provides meaningful policy controls, visibility, and data protection capabilities that are difficult to achieve with a standard browser alone. The strongest areas for us have been the ability to control browser behavior based on on users and groups; the ability to reduce risk from SaaS and web-based workflows; and the centralized administration experience. It has helped us improve security and compliance while still allowing users to work efficiently.

Reviewer Insights for: Island Enterprise Browser
Deciding Factors: Island Enterprise Browser Vs. Market Average

Island Enterprise Browser Likes & Dislikes

Like

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.

Dislike

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.
