Strong Security and Control for Safe, Isolated Access
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Island is its strong security and the level of control it gives me. It lets me access Active Directory securely through Microsoft RDP while keeping my work data isolated from everything else. I also really value the built-in protections that help prevent screenshots, screen recording, and other types of data leakage.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I don’t like is that the security features can sometimes feel overly restrictive for day-to-day work. Simple actions like copy-paste, screen sharing, or quick data transfers can become inconvenient, and they end up slowing me down. I think the overall experience would be much smoother with more flexible controls—ideally role-based options—so the restrictions align better with what different users actually need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Island meets the need to securely access company systems like Active Directory over Microsoft RDP, without adding extra risk of data leakage or blurring the boundary between work and personal use. For me, the biggest advantage is how clearly it keeps my work environment isolated from everything else, so I can stay focused on work without mixing it with my personal browsing. It also helps protect sensitive information by enforcing restrictions such as blocking copy-paste and screenshots, while still allowing me to work smoothly and efficiently.

Island Makes Work Easy and Plays Great with Global Protect
What do you like best about the product?
The island makes working in it easy. Some projects require Global Protect, and they work great together. The other thing I like about Island is being able to add multiple companies
What do you dislike about the product?

Flexible, All-in-One Browser
What do you like best about the product?
Its flexibility stands out. It allows organization administrators to seamlessly manage browser rules and policies by group. It also offers advanced, all-in-one features that you’d otherwise need multiple different solutions combined to get.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like how it prioritizes rules and policies, but it can be hard to manage them when there are conflicting policies that may look identical at first, yet have one key difference that makes things complicated. Right now, it seems to base the priority of rules and policies on their order, and I hope this can be improved in the future so it’s easier to handle and understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves some of our problems, especially by letting us control what data can and cannot leave the browser. It gives us the oversight we need so that any unauthorized or prohibited activities, particularly those involving sensitive data, are properly managed and prevented when necessary.
Another issue it addresses is its ability to block the use of other browsers that users may have installed on their own. This helps keep the environment safe at all times!

The user experience is seamless, and the platform is highly integration-friendly. I am also impressed by the robust security controls provided at the organizational level.
What do you dislike about the product?
I occasionally notice browsing is a bit slow and there aren't a lot of customization options. As an end user, I do get frustrated by the strict security controls, but also understand that's not really the tool's fault.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise-level security controls and protection, and centralized management for configurations and policies.
