    I agree with brad3378. A few programs will be pointed out as up-to-date, and the rest leave you wondering. If you click, the check is not quick. It does however, seem like a robust installer, so if you have problems with updating Chrome, etc, you might give it a spin.. but that's like an off-label use.

It works but the interface is awful. In my case, it displays the names of 50 different software packages and only one is out-of-date. Unfortunately, there's no way to quickly identify which one is out-of-date without scrolling through the entire list and identify which program without reading the fine print. There's also no one-button update to download and install only the software that's out of date.

They do have an option to redownload and reinstall ALL software even if it's already up to date, but what's the point?

Occasionally this program finds something that alternatives miss, but my advice is to use Ninite and Chocolatey first and save Glary as your backup.

I tried Software Update v1.2, it notified me 62 updates available and no one was correct!!!

No way! FileHippo Update Checker is the best.
