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.
