Pretty good program, since I have a lot of video & audio programs on my PC I would like to keep updated.
At first did not like it, since it took so long to scan thru all my programs etc on start up, then figured out how to go through and tried to uncheck certain programs from scan. Wish it had better options to do this like option to only scan my video or audio programs, or PC utility programs only.
After a going through and adding many programs to the ignore list, SUMo does load and scan faster now, but I wish it was much faster still and gave more custom scan options.
Some addtl feedback issues had:
**Even when selected Ignore my Microsoft files- SUMo still pulls up a bunch of the same old broken or missing files in scan, cannot find an option to overlook or ignore these files.
**Found many major and minor program updates shown in SUMo, are just not accurate or valid.
Overall, still a nice little program, that I hope they keep improving!

SUMo is really the most powerful update manager ever.
I really tested many of them, also Software Informer.
But SUMo is much better!

Pros:
+ You can add folders to scan so SUMo detects also portable applications (that are not installed)
+ SUMo detects installed versions better than other update manager
+ New versions are added very quickly to the SUMo database (in Software Informer some reported updates took weeks until they were offered)
+ SUMo does not steal your user-data (the SUMo server never know what software a specific user has installed)
+ Very quick and very friendly support

Very good at detecting your software, but when you click on"Get Update", the whole program falls short, it takes you to a Google search page with numerus links that may or may not pertain to the version of software you need. More
