Seamless Remote Access and Deployment, Excellent Support
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Island's ability to simplify the setup process for us, which was not difficult at all due to the comprehensive support provided. The excellent support we received made the whole experience of setting up our tenant easy and smooth. I also find the security features extremely useful, ensuring that our systems remain secure while enabling a variety of use cases, especially for remote access to internal secure systems. The easy configuration of new services is another highlight, allowing us to onboard new personnel seamlessly, especially those working remotely, without needing to provide them with hardware. This has significantly reduced our time to deployment and removed the need to maintain remotely housed hardware. Furthermore, Island efficiently solves the problem of remote access for support organizations, unifying the support experience and making it simpler to deploy access services to our vendors. These capabilities not only simplify the support team's tasks but also enhance the overall efficiency of our operations. Additionally, the opportunities Island provides us to deploy services quickly are invaluable, compelling enough for me to consider buying it again. On a scale of 1 to 10, I confidently recommend Island as a 10 for others, particularly when I see that it can effectively fill gaps when compared to other vendors.

Upsides of Using Island: User Experience / Visibility & Insights / Scalability
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, it’s difficult to find something to truly dislike about Island. Every time I’ve encountered an issue or had a feature request, the Island team has gone above and beyond to help — often working tirelessly to find a workaround or develop a long-term solution. On the rare occasion they don’t have an immediate fix, they follow up within days with one.
If I had to identify areas for improvement, I’d suggest expanding the search functionality in the management console and adding more detailed information to the user activity map, such as the ability to filter or refresh it by specific time frames. Additionally, when troubleshooting policy violations, it would be helpful if the system provided more detailed explanations for why an action was blocked, rather than just stating that it violated a policy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Island has solved several critical challenges for our organization, especially around secure browsing, visibility, and control. Before Island, ensuring safe access to business applications from personal or unmanaged devices was complex and risky. With Island, we now have secure, policy-driven access for all users — employees, contractors, and partners — without compromising usability.
As a CISO, I appreciate having a centralized management dashboard that gives me full visibility into users, devices, and activities. The DLP policies and workflows are exceptional, allowing us to prevent data loss while maintaining a smooth user experience.
Another major benefit is the ability to run legacy applications without needing outdated browser versions, which simplifies IT maintenance and reduces risk. The platform also supports certificate-based access and SSH capabilities, providing secure and monitored connections for network users.
Island has also improved communication and user engagement — we can easily post news and announcements to all users and even customize homepages by department or role. Overall, Island combines security, flexibility, and simplicity, making it one of the most effective tools we’ve implemented for protecting our digital workspace.
