Accops Remote Browser Isolation vs Citrix Remote Browser Isolation

Accops Remote Browser Isolation keeps enterprise web sessions away from user endpoints and corporate networks. Browsing runs inside a disposable container in a secure data centre or private cloud, which is destroyed when the session ends. The endpoint receives encrypted pixels and keystrokes while active web code remains remote. Accops says this arrangement separates untrusted websites, email links, malware, drive-by downloads, and exploit attempts from the enterprise environment. Administrators can choose shared containers or dedicated virtual machines, and centrally restrict uploads, downloads, copy, paste, and screen recording. The service works with existing single sign-on and multi-factor authentication systems. It records playback, file logs, and activity trails, with alerts forwarded through Syslog. Browser instances scale as demand changes, and GPU-accelerated rendering supports rich web applications on thin clients. Platforms are listed as self-hosted and web, with cloud deployment. Pricing is on request.

Citrix Remote Browser Isolation separates web browsing from a user’s device to protect corporate networks from browser-based attacks and provide access to internet-hosted web applications. Users open web apps in a configured browser, while browsing data does not transfer directly between the website and the device. Published browsers support shared-passcode, authenticated, and unauthenticated external web apps. Administrators can set URL allow lists, control clipboard use, printing, kiosk mode, region failover, and client drive mapping, then monitor or disconnect active sessions. Optional activity logging records visited host names, access times, user identifiers, and allowlist status in the customer’s Azure Storage Account; uploads occur hourly rather than in real time. Cloud browsers run on VDAs, with Citrix Cloud managing security and patching. Session history and HTTP-request cache are deleted when sessions end, according to Citrix. Access requires an HTML5-compatible browser, with no downloadable client. Traffic uses TLS 1.2 only. Self-hosted workloads require a customer Azure subscription and specified Citrix and DaaS entitlements.
