A server may receive a device profile from a computing device. The device profile may identify a usage of at least software applications associated with the computing device. The server may perform a comparison of the device profile with other device profiles associated with other computing devices, determine a similarity index of the device profile with individual ones of the other device profiles, and select a subset of the other device profiles based on the similarity index to create a set of similar device profiles. The server may determine configuration differences between the device profile of the computing device and individual device profiles of the similar device profiles, determine recommendations based on the configuration differences, and send the recommendations to the computing device. Implementing one or more of the recommendations may cause the one or more tasks to execute faster or use less of one or more computing resources.
