Glarysoft’s Software Update shows you what software needs to be updated on your computer. If you choose to upgrade that program, it will direct you to a website where you can download the necessary elements.

Smooth process

Having the latest version of a program is vital for you to take full advantage of your PC’s abilities.

When compared to Patch My PC Updater, Software Update is much easier to use. However, IObit’s alternative to these easily crushes the competition with its ease of use and beautiful design.

Downloading it is easy. Once it’s running, it will offer the option of finding beta apps. Overall, it’s easy to understand what you’re doing when getting new variations of the programs and ensuring that you will find the best version of the software.

One of the main places it falls short is that it requires you to do manual downloads. On the other hand, IObit and Patch offer the ability to get the app update without going to the company's website.

Where can you run this program?

You can use it on any OS after Windows 2000.

Is there a better alternative?

Yes, both Patch my Computer and IObit Updater are much better programs. Patch offers excellent customization and supports a lot of applications. IObit has a more comfortable to use interface while giving great recommendations for excellent alternatives.

Our take

While the application is quite easy to understand, it does have the significant problem of making you do most of the work yourself. You need to watch out for it coming with other Glarysoft options, but it does have an okay beta selection.

Should you download it?

No, Software Update does not offer enough features to make it worth getting.
