Citrix Remote Browser Isolation vs Keeper Remote Browser Isolation

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.

Keeper Remote Browser Isolation runs web browsing in a controlled remote environment rather than on an end-user device. It provides access to cloud-based and internal web applications without a VPN. Administrators can allow sites by domain, subdomain, path or wildcard, restrict uploads, downloads and clipboard use, and record website interactions for auditing and compliance without granting full operating-system access. The isolation protocol can inject credentials into a session without sending them to the user's device.

The service projects a virtualized Chromium browser running in a Keeper Connection Manager container. Connection Manager can run on-premises or in the cloud, and Keeper says there are no concurrency limits. It also supports RDP, SSH, Kubernetes and VNC, plus connections to MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server. Listed identity integrations include SSO, Active Directory, LDAP and PIV/CAC. Remote Browser Isolation is offered with custom pricing; no price is listed, and the page invites prospective customers to request a quote.
