Anyone else having trouble with the Evaluation Entry System?

It seems like every time I try to get on to EES the network is down. And now that it is back up, I am denied access. Why does everything with online military have to be such a pain? First the movement to Enterprise Email, and now trying to manage NCOERs.
It's not as if I have a lot of time after my civilian job to fart around with this seemingly broken system.

As usual, it is a multifaceted problem. Systems built by "lowest bidder" (not necessarily most qualified). Long-term support may or may not be by the same individuals that designed/coded/installed the system, with questionable support documentation. Intermittent problems may be hard to identify or reproduce for trouble shooting and resolution.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not defending the systems (I, too, have issues with access and time constraints). I like the idea of the electronic versions for the NCOER and OER, but I actually liked the PureEdge version better. Local access and editing of the forms with electronic submission. It didn't have the tracking capabilities, but was a lot easier to use.

With the money we spend on bespoke systems, we could simply have all our forms in fillable/signable Adobe formats. The only advantage of EES, if it were done right, would be to have built in wizards that would prevent the most common of errors - like a digital S1. Regulations are rules and instructions; both things that digital systems work well with. Sadly, we do not have our evaluation regulations coded into EES's wizard.

Ah, on the medical side it is ALTHA, CHCS, and Essentris. All the military has computer programs that simply don't work. Here it is 2016, and it is acceptable to be inefficient. As you mentioned, you have a job and cannot afford to waste time on these systems/programs. It is the same throughout the WHOLE Army.
