Keeper Remote Browser Isolation vs VirtualBrowser

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.

VirtualBrowser moves browsing into a remote server or virtual container and streams the rendered pages to users. Web code does not run on the user’s computer, and the container and its data are removed when a session ends. Administrators can set site-specific rules for keyboard use, copying and pasting, uploads, downloads, printing, read-only access, and camera or microphone use. The administration console supports remote document previews and watermarks. The product blocks tracking cookies and includes an ad-blocking extension. It also supports online video meetings, including Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex, with controls for cameras, microphones, and screen sharing. Organizations can use SAML or LDAP authentication and route browsing through a proxy. Deployment is available as SaaS hosted in Europe or on customer servers; the on-premise option lists ICAP content-analysis integration. VirtualBrowser is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge across operating systems, and says its browsing security solution is CSPN-certified. It runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web. Pricing is on request.
