Same as SUMo.
I suggest that you take a look at UCheck. It is in an active development currently. Still not good as SUMo, but will be in the near future.

I use mainly PatchMyPC, but also still trying out other software for same purposes...

IMO, UpdateHub is worth to follow development, but it's far from being as good as SUMo.

+1 for PatchMyPC, it's what I've been using, too.

Definitely one of the most user friendly updaters, but the database is quite small

And that's the rub. Fortunately, it does cover all of my installed apps, but I figure if it could update 80% plus of our apps, it give us a quick jump on things.

I'd recommend checking out UpdateHub as @silversurfer already mentioned. It covers quite a lot of software.

I use PatchMyPC and WingetUI.

UCheck is definitely worth looking at. It finds updates for a very large amount of apps. For example it finds 51 updates on my main PC, whereas PatchMyPC only finds 6.

I was browsing the internet and came across this program. Can anyone who already has it or has tried it tell me if it is a safe and reliable program? Is the premium plan worth it? Is it a good substitute for SUMO? Thanks

This is an example of why bots are dangerous and should be totally disregarded.

4. Secunia PSI: Secunia PSI ...

More garbage.

It is not allowed on the internet to prevent it from becoming self-conscious, so it has outdated info.

Glarysoft Software Update

I don't recommend buying it, as it only finds updates for a small amount of software. Currently it finds updates for only one app on my computer, whereas UCheck finds 52 updates. Patch My PC which like Glarysoft Software Update downloads and automatically installs updates, finds five updates.

From time to time, you can get Software Update Pro for free as a giveaway.

WAU Manager by Califred, try this, its a Windows Automatic Manager but there's an option to update applications too.
