Identify Devices Experiencing Performance Degradation

Overview

Performance degradation rarely has a single cause. It is usually the result of accumulating issues such as increasing memory pressure, CPU constraints, software changes, or long-running operating system installations. Without clear signals, IT teams struggle to distinguish between healthy devices and those quietly falling behind.

Applixure continuously evaluates device performance and highlights computers that are degrading over time. This allows IT to move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive performance management.

What Applixure Provides

Applixure monitors performance signals across the fleet and surfaces devices showing signs of degradation, including:

• Devices flagged with performance degradation warnings
• Fleet-level visibility into how many devices are affected
• Per-device drill-down for detailed investigation
• Correlation with other alerts such as high memory usage
• Visibility into RAM capacity and CPU characteristics
• Insight into operating system installation age since deployment
• Search, sort, and export capabilities for remediation planning

This gives IT teams the context needed to understand not just that a device is slow, but why.

Benefits

• Identify performance degradation in under 10 seconds
• Reduce freezes, crashes, and slowdowns before users complain
• Pinpoint root causes using correlated performance signals
• Extend device lifespan through targeted remediation
• Improve overall stability and user experience
• Lower support ticket volume related to performance issues

Implementation Steps

1. Create an Applixure account
2. Deploy the agent via your existing management tool
3. Data collection begins automatically
4. Open Devices in Applixure Analytics
5. Navigate to Warnings → Performance Degradation
6. Review affected devices across the fleet
7. Drill into individual devices to assess memory, CPU, and system age
