Enterprise Browser
HERE vs Island
HERE delivers enterprise-grade security, plus a workspace built for how teams work.
Technology trusted around the globe
Island provides enhanced browser security, but leaves productivity largely unaddressed.
Locking down a browser makes it safer. It doesn't make it a better way to work.
Secure browsers keep the same tabbed interface, so employees still toggle between disconnected apps all day. AI tools stay bolted on the side or blocked outright instead of built into the workflow. And a browser that only improves security struggles to get adopted, pushing employees toward shadow AI instead.
Feature Comparison
Island and HERE both provide data loss prevention, phishing and credential theft protection, shadow AI discovery and prompt monitoring. The difference is what each browser does for the work itself.

Based on public vendor documentation and HERE competitive research.
Other enterprise browsers solve a security problem, not a work problem. HERE does both.
Enterprise security
Granular controls over copy/paste, screen capture, printing and downloads, built on 15 years of Chromium security experience.
Supertabs
Combine every application into one visual, shareable layout: the unified workspace Island's console doesn't build.
Signals
Share customer and account context across applications in real time, through a secure message bus embedded in the browser.
SuperSearch
Return actionable results from inside every connected application. Island provides no inside-application search.
AI App Builder
HERE Studio builds apps in plain language using a firm's own authorized AI, deployed natively inside the workspace.
Native app support
Native desktop apps interoperate alongside browser tabs, with window snapping and docking built in.
