Check Point Harmony SASE vs Island Enterprise Browser

Check Point Harmony SASE combines secure internet access, private network access, SaaS security, and SD-WAN in a hybrid platform. A single Check Point Infinity Portal console manages network infrastructure, users, and security. SaaS Security provides inline and API-based enforcement, application control, tenant restrictions, DLP, threat prevention, oversharing remediation, shadow SaaS discovery, and posture management. Private Access applies identity-based zero-trust policies to employees, third parties, and branch offices. Secure SD-WAN optimizes routing for more than 10,000 applications and users, steers traffic based on link health, and supports sub-second failover across MPLS, 5G, and broadband. Reporting integrations include Amazon S3, Splunk, and Azure Sentinel; documented identity integrations include Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Google Workspace. The service is described as SOC 2 Type 2 compliant. Its agent is listed for Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook, Android, and iOS, with minimum versions specified for several systems. A free 30-day trial is available through the Check Point Portal; a software license is required afterward. Pricing is on request.

Island Enterprise Browser is a business browser with security, visibility, and management features built in. Administrators can set conditional access policies based on identity, device, network, location, and application context. Context-based policies and last-mile controls govern printing, downloads, screenshots, and copy and paste to help prevent data leakage. Island says the browser protects against malware, phishing, session hijacking, man-in-the-browser attacks, and other browser exploits. Built-in tools include an AI assistant, smart clipboard, ad and tracker blocker, geolocation anonymizer, and password manager. It separates work and personal browsing and displays indicators when activity is monitored. Island also describes automation and customization for SaaS and web applications without changing their source code or relying on proprietary APIs. The browser integrates with identity providers such as Azure AD and Okta and can work with zero trust network access and endpoint protection platforms. Listed coverage includes Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook, iOS, iPadOS, and Android, plus extensions for Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox. Extension support has some parity limits. Pricing is on request; the listed plan costs $250,000 a year on a 12-month contract.
