SUMo (Software Updates Monitoring) is a tool which allows users to keep their PC up-to-date and notifies users when updates are available. It detects applications a user is making use of and tracks updates. It provides opportunity for users to be notified once a new version is detected.

Some of the features of SUMo are as follows: automatic detection of installed software; filter/authorized beta versions; ignore list; more compatibility; reduced false positive than other Update Monitors.

SUMo also works by simply by depending on social networking because its database is populated by the other users. Users that have access to make use of up-to-date software will be able reduce the risk of encountering bugs and will benefit from more features.

Many users have had to complain about its GUI which they think is not up to standard. This is so because it does not work properly at 120 DPI. It is also use to report a lot of false updates which includes falsely detecting HP software as “ACDSee”, and other useless and misleading entries. Bad as all these may sound, SUMo is also very slow.

It is very difficult to uninstall SUMo as it does not completely uninstall from the PC.

This program should never be compared with Skype because there are a lot of differences in both programs. ooVoo is however a multi-user video application in its own class. The application supports up to six different users charting and communicating with one another all at the same time. Users can send and receive files and video messages to other ooVoo users across the net. Interestingly, even those who don not have this software installed can still receive messages as well.

ooVoo on the low side is packed with too many advertisements to the frustrations of users. The publishers should have taken their time to reduce the number of ads, in order for users to enjoy the program whether free or not.

To fully enjoy the use of this program, users must have a web camera, a microphone, and a good working broadband connection. Users can invite their friends through email or video messages straight from ooVoo. You can even get to chat with other friends who do not have ooVoo on their computer; simply give them a video call right from your application.

Users who want to enjoy this program can do so without having to pay for it. However, if you want something more compact, you may have to go for the paid package.
