Best Software Updater?

Hi,

I will pretty soon install Windows 10 Pro from scratch on my new workstation, and I'm trying to figure out what is the best Software Updater. By Software Updater I mean a software that automatically updates my applications when a new version becomes available.

The ideal candidate would:
_ be free (preferably but not mandatory)
_ have the option to schedule computer scans to spot which app do need an update
_ be security focus: eg only retrieving updates from the official editor website, check digital signature ...

So far I installed Ninite and Patch my PC.
Ninite - Install or Update Multiple Apps at Once
Patch My PC: Simplify Third-Party Patching in Microsoft SCCM and Intune

Both do a great job but are not ideal: Ninite doesn't support a lot of applications and can't run on a scheduled basis but on the other hand it is very secure (it retrieves updates from official editor websites and checks for digital signatures), whereas Patch my PC supports 300+ apps, and has a scheduler option, but I have the feeling it is less secure as I'm not sure where it retrieves the updates from.

Thank you in advance for your insight on that matter!

Seconded Sumo.

Hello, if your software has a check for updates option, use that. Or manually check from time to time.

That is what I do. I find automatic updates can cause more issues than they are worth at times.

Hi guys,

Thanks everyone for detailed answers.
I installed and ran the free version of SUMo: it detected a lot more applications than Ninite and Patch my PC, that's a good point.
Then I tried to update few apps, but first I went into the settings and ticked "Get Update > Developper website" instead of "SUMo server". But I got a prompt saying I need to purchase the Pro version to do thatd. So as I planned to use this software pretty frequently to stay up to date and maintain a secured PC, I bought the Pro version, which is not super expensive but I had to pay AUD53 for that nonetheless. And then, back in the software, I activate the Pro license and click the "Get Update from the developper site" and instead of silently download and install the update from the developper site like I was expecting, SUMo opens a tab in my browser, landing me to the developper site ... wait, I could do that by myself, just by running the app, then go to settings and click on "Check for updates", I don't need to pay AUD50 for that! I feel like I've been paying only for an interface that gathers all the apps on my computer with a color in front of it so that I know if an update exists for it or not, this is cool already, but far from enough, and definitely not what I was expecting!
It is so time consuming having to go to each and every developer website, click on the download button, find the exe file, execute it, delete the exe file and doing this all over again for all the applications that need an update on my computer, I won't even do it!
I know the only person to blame here is probably me as I must have been reading what you said guys too quickly to understand that SUMo Pro does NOT update anything automatically but, anyway, yeah, I'm pissed of to be honest. What's the point of the Pro version then?

Thanks @dalchina,

Exact: the Pro version claims "automatic self-update" but that's not the case.
So I will contact them and ask for a deactivation of my license + a refund.
