I hate AKO, its cumbersome, not user friendly, difficult to navigate and should be scrapped in my humble opinion. It does not work well with a Mac, half the time I cannot even access my email, it sucks!<div><br></div><div>When on a FOB/COP with limited internet access, it eats up a huge amount of bandwidth and you cannot even get on it. </div><div><div><br></div><div>I understand security protocols, but its not even a secure system. </div><div><br></div><div>I have yet to meet anyone who say,"gee, AKO is great!".</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>

AKO is secure only in that it is literally impossible to access and effectively use.

It's not just AKO either; it's JKO, ALMS, ATRRS, GoArmyEd, Skillport, Medpros... they're all broken. The best thing that ever happened was the e-mail migration.

I spend more time fighting ATRRS when we have to do mandatory online training than I spend doing the actual training!

I disagree on the migration to enterprise. I haven't been able to get that to work on any computer that wasn't hooked up to a govt network.
Even on my crap laptop that I downgraded IE and everything else on so I could run courseware it won't let me in.

Don't even get me started -<div><br></div><div>AKO, like most Army computer-related systems, is absolute garbage. The Army is full of different "systems" that don't talk to each other, and are just a jumbled mess of crap.</div><div><br></div><div>AKO always brags about how many searches are done each day and month. Have you ever tried to use the search function? It sucks!!! It's horrible, you can't find anything. It's easier to Google something than to use AKO.</div><div><br></div><div>It's a sensitive subject for me, I can't stand the utter ineptitude of DoD information systems in general. AKO is one of the worst.</div>
