This software is very easy of use when it comes down to creating your own custom reports with specific needs such as time range in days or weeks that you would like them filtered for example between March 1st- April 30th 2015 (or whatever date ranges). There are so many different types out there but they should have made this more user friendly especially if someone has never used any type before! I am new at using these programing languages however i do understand how complicated things can get once its not simple enought o create what your looking after yourself which could be done quite easily just by typing commands into command line window etc. Alion is very flexible and can be customized for any size organization. Alion provides the solution for my organization's needs in the area of security and video surveillance. The system is easy to use and works with other Alion products. I do not dislike anything about the system. I have only had the opportunity to use the system for a few weeks. Security and video surveillance is a key component to any organization. Alion has helped my organization meet that need.
