# Compare Reports
The Compare Report feature is designed to help you quickly identify anomalies and patterns across multiple incidents. Whether the reports are automatically captured by the yc-360 script or manually uploaded via Cool Tools, Individual Uploads, or Bundle Uploads, this feature helps you to compare two reports side by side, making it easier to identify changes and anomalies between incidents.
With Compare Report, you can:
- View metrics side by side for 2 reports at a time
- Spot differences in key metrics like GC behavior, thread activity, memory usage, and more
- Reduce time to find root cause by eliminating the need to open each report individually
This feature is especially useful when you're dealing with performance degradation, memory leaks, thread contention, or other intermittent issues. Simply select the reports you want to compare, and let the tool highlight the critical differences for you.
