One of the most impressive aspects of Island is their commitment to innovation. Updates and new features are rolled out with remarkable speed, ensuring that users always have access to the latest advancements. Whether it's enhanced security measures, improved performance optimizations or compatibility with emerging technologies, Island Enterprise Browser stays ahead of the curve.

I highly recommend Island to anyone seeking a reliable, innovative and, above all else, secure browsing solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great solution, strong technical support and engineering, marred by sales challenges"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Island?

Island browser stands out for its enterprise security controls, seamless integration with existing systems like SSO, CrowdStrike, and AWS, and its balance between robust security and user-friendly experience. The browser's customizability and real-time security enforcement give us greater control over data and protection against threats. Island's support and engineering teams are highly responsive, offering excellent assistance throughout the process, from proof of concept to multiple pilots to production and even incorporating customer feedback into their product roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Island?

The sales experience could be improved, as unexpected additional 'fees' detracted from an otherwise stellar technical experience after the contract was signed. Overall, while the engineering and support teams excel, a more transparent and collaborative approach from sales would enhance the buildng of a partnership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
