"Secure, Fast Zero Trust Access Without the VPN Hassle"

5/5

What do you like best about Island?

What I like best about the Island Platform is its ability to provide secure access to applications and resources without the complexity of a traditional VPN. It offers a modern, fast, and user-friendly experience while improving security through a Zero Trust approach. I also appreciate the consistent experience across devices, built-in collaboration features, and the ability to access applications directly from the browser, which helps improve productivity and reduces friction for end users.

What do you dislike about Island?

One challenge with Island is that some legacy applications and workflows were designed around traditional VPN connectivity, which can require additional testing and adjustments during migration. There can also be a learning curve for users who are accustomed to legacy remote access solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Island solving and how is that benefiting you?

Island is solving the challenges of traditional VPN-based access by providing secure, direct access to applications and resources through a Zero Trust approach. This benefits me by simplifying the user experience, reducing connectivity issues, improving performance, and allowing me to securely access the tools I need from anywhere without relying on a legacy VPN.
