The alert thresholds are established by administrators, enabling them to flexibly establish frequency and alert actions within the ENDFORCE Enterprise Web interface. ENDFORCE has also enhanced the availability of reporting data in Enterprise 2.5 by providing an easy interface to extract and view the data in third-party analysis tools, such as Crystal reports.
