Identify Devices With Repeated High Memory Usage

Repeated high memory usage is one of the most common causes of slow, frustrating computers. Users experience lag, applications freezing, and reduced productivity long before an issue is formally reported. Without clear visibility, IT teams are often left reacting to complaints instead of addressing the root cause early. With Applixure, IT can identify devices experiencing repeated high memory usage in seconds and take action before performance issues escalate.

Overview

High memory usage is rarely a one-off event. It is often caused by recurring application behavior, background processes, or hardware constraints that consistently push devices beyond their capacity. When this happens repeatedly, device performance degrades, and user experience suffers.

Applixure surfaces these patterns automatically. Instead of waiting for support tickets, IT teams can immediately see which devices are repeatedly running high memory usage and focus remediation where it matters most.

 

What Applixure Provides

Applixure continuously monitors memory usage patterns across the fleet, including:

  • Devices experiencing repeated high memory usage
  • Instant visibility into how many devices are affected
  • Per-device drill-down for deeper analysis
  • Current alerts and historical issue events
  • Visibility into installed software that may contribute to memory pressure
  • Hardware details to assess whether RAM upgrades are appropriate
  • Search, sort, and export capabilities for operational workflows

This allows IT to distinguish between temporary spikes and recurring performance problems.

  • Identify memory-related performance issues in under 10 seconds
  • Reduce user frustration caused by slow or unresponsive devices
