PerformanceGuard helps you quickly identify your "resource thieves:" processes and users who consume excessive amounts of resources like CPU power and RAM.

- **The quick overview:** The [Processes and Users](/performanceguard/i-want-to-know/i-want-to-know-who-consumes-resources/processes-and-users/) graph (**ANALYZE > Graphs > Combined Bar Charts > Processes & Users**) provides the overview in an easy-to-view bar chart format, no matter whether you are looking for resource-consuming users or processes.

- **The details:** The [Hotspot Overviews](/performanceguard/analyze/hotspot-overviews/) hotspot (**ANALYZE > Overview > Hotspots > Process Resources**) provides detailed data about resource-consuming processes, and you can drill down to view which computers and user accounts ran a given process.
