## What the models said for it

- "Some top secure browsers for enterprise work include Island, which offers a browser with built-in security policy, visibility, and data controls." (Llama 4 Maverick, Enterprise browsers)
- "Opt for purpose-built enterprise browsers (e.g., Island, Venn) praised in 2024-2026 reviews for native policy enforcement" (Grok 4.1 Fast, Enterprise browsers)
- "Island or Palo Alto (Talon) are the top choices due to their comprehensive feature sets and proven scalability" (Mistral Small, Enterprise browsers)
- "I'd recommend Island Enterprise Browser as the top choice for securing browsing on both managed and unmanaged devices." (Grok 4.1 Fast, Enterprise browsers)

## And against it

- "its product pages are demo/quote-led rather than price-transparent, which makes it harder to call it the best fit for a tight budget" (GPT-5.4 mini, Enterprise browsers)
- "Expensive — pricing starts in the low six figures for meaningful deployments, which is often too steep for mid-market budgets" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Enterprise browsers)
- "Many standalone enterprise browsers (like Island, Surf, or Mammoth) ... they introduce severe architectural and operational risks" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Enterprise browsers)
- "investing in expensive, dedicated Secure Enterprise Browsers (SEBs) like Island or Palo Alto Talon ... is usually not viable" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Enterprise browsers)
