How hard it is or not is pretty irrelevant when you don't have the tools you need to make those kinds of decisions. Without them, no one has the right to complain about performance problems, including "runaway" guests, etc. If they want good results, they're going to have to spend some money on tools, it's as simple as that. Without tools, and without anything else to rely on except inappropriate rules of thumb from the past, only bad things are likely to happen.
