I few week ago i had updated my nvidia graphic driver which was last updated to the latest version in 2015 or so, and after that my system started having random hangs, then i just reimaged my system back and had no hangs ever since, so this kind of software will never convince me to keep my drivers "up-to-date and safe." Yes, i know in case of graphic drivers there might me be some performance improvements but it's not that relevant to me since i don't play games and my graphic card won't be updated on this device, so if your system is working fine don't bother with constant driver updating unless you absolutely have to, and make sure you have some means of system recovery prior to updating.

the program is an advisory tool; not much more since it doesn't even take you to a download page

Does this program automaticaly install drivers without the user being able to control what drivers are installed?
Thanks

"user-friendly driver updater" if it was user-friendly then it would be able to download and install the driver directly inside the program.
Uninstalled, to many better alternatives

great info about this kind of software http://lifehacker.com/5912682/do-i-really-need-to-update-my-drivers.
Now... if there is a need to update your drivers I would prefer this one to automatic updaters as this lets you have final say yourself. However.... if you know the manufacturer of whatever it is you need updating please go to their site directly, most hardware manufacturers will have a utility that helps you determine the correct drivers for your system

Not such a good program. Why?
It is not as it really free.
Although the application itself is free status 24 hours.
But a lot of times directs her side, where to download the driver, but you must enter your mobile number. So sell my privacy.
Therefore, I agree to it I can not.

I my Asus notebook already does this for free. I have used paid programs in the past and had a lot of trouble with the updates they recommend.

Downloaded and installed easily on Win 7 64. First try at updating a driver with this product. Dumo sent me twice to buy the Dumo products. Third try sent me to a google search page with way to much irrelevant pages, I consider this product to be trash, how in the hell do they sale this product? From what it states it does to what it actually does is just a lie, to me it seem close to being a scam. How did this get by GAOTDs testing? This has potential to really (pardon my language) train wreck computers. Bummer the last driver updater has ran out and is broken now need another one and I'm refuse/not paying that much for this type of singular use software nor a time stamped one. I like the Swiss Army knife multipurpose software with no time limits on use. That I would buy. This product is a foul ball instead of a Home Run.Thanks GAOTD I do Appreciate and Trust you guys. Hell you are my starting homepage I come to every morning.

Be careful guys. This kind of applets are for experienced users.
Updating drivers may end in unexpected problems not easy to troubleshoot. Update only drivers that require to be updated not all drivers just because last version is 1.9 and yours is 1.0. Think twice and ask for advice. As a rule of thumb 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'.

Luis, Your right! I have used a similar program in the past, and it was one of the worst decisions ever!!! If you want to spent the weekend fixing your PC, then go for it......NEVER Again
Save | Cancel
Luis, "Updating drivers may end in unexpected problems not easy to troubleshoot." is about as an inane/pc 101 statement as I've EVER heard/read. There are literally hundreds of reasons that drivers should be updated, and troubleshooting a bad update is COMPLETELY unnecessary, if you'd taken pc102 and BACKED UP your installed drivers with the literally dozens of free programs that do this (Glary utilities even has an auto driver b/u), which makes reinstalling drivers a snap. (PC101's cardinal rule: backup, backup, backup. And then back that up- always!)

I installed the program and tried to register it. Getting this error "Invalid License Data" with the key in the ReadMe file.

Drivers are not that important as in the past. Win 10 has drivers for every piece of hardware you install and in reality you need only few drivers to look for to update:
1-Video
2-Audio
3-Motherboard (south and north bridges)
That is it, just go to the manufacturer site and check if new drivers are available, if not do not waste your time.
Downloading drivers from shady web sites, is asking for trouble. Furthermore, when ever you visit one of those sites, they always say: "new drivers are available". I just wonder who is writing or modifying those driver that are not in their original packages.

Sandy, I would even go as far as saying that only Video drivers are drivers that might need updating and those only when nvidia or amd brings out drivers that targets games you specifically have. With drivers... in general... you can safely say that if it ain't broken don't fix it. AMD and nVidia both (as far as I know, sure about nVidia) have an application that monitors them for you and will let you know if new drivers are available. free of charge.
Save | Cancel
Mavadelo, I think Sandy is more accurate, when I switched to windows 10, I did updated the audio, video and MB and my system works like charm now. If you do not play games, there is no need to update anything, unless you update or change the operating system.

At first I thought this program is like IObit driver booster. But it is 100% different. It sends you to the manufacture website. It doesn't even download the drivers for you.
As for the one that said they don't trust these kind of programs that upgrade your drivers. They didn't even use this program. It is not like driver booster or slimdrivers. Dumo Pro only sends you to the manufacture link and is not even to the direct location to the driver you need.
Anyway this program you can pass on. Unless you really don't know the manufacture of the product is.

I wouldn't go so far as to say this software is useless, but having tried it out I found that is basically throws up a list of links where you can find the drivers for your hardware. Handy if you have some piece of old hardware and need to find the drivers for it, but if you are looking for drivers the best place to start is the makers website. A lot of the site that DUMo directs you to offer generic drivers which can cause problems. I would never use a third party driver updater, I've had too many issues with them in the past. Like reenie (#5) said "If it ain't broken don't fix it".

I consider DUMo (and SUMo) must-haves. I also consider automated utilities dangerous--this isn't one of them.
DUMo enumerates your drivers and versions installed and displays "OK" if current or "Update available (#)" with its current available version number. Nothing is downloaded or messed with; it is an advisory tool.
SUMo does the same thing only with installed software--very handy for the large quantity of software that does not have its own update mechanism.
My only criticism with today's giveaway is that the download button only takes you to the OEM's home page (a little handy, potentially saving a Google search) rather than the actual driver download page.

Rolo, this will be improved soon !

I've tried this several times over the last few years, and I yet to actually d/l a driver with ease with it, personally I have found it to be worse than useless.
Save | Cancel
DUMo is the ONLY driver update checker you can trust BECAUSE it doesn't install the drivers. It gives you suggestions, unlike all the other driver update software that finds drivers that it thinks are compatible with your system, installs them, and leaves you with a headache. I suspect all the negative ratings are from people who just read the description and thought it was yet another driver updater software that screws up your system.

This morning, when I started Windows, I noticed a program from yesterday was still running:

I'm not sure automatic selection and install of drivers would be a good idea. An inadequate driver can break your computer. We are long past the time when you could upgrade anything with blind confidence. Heck, even Windows upgrades should not be trusted nowadays.

That was in reply to Iggi.

Clairvaux, yeah I agree with you and that's the reason I usually avoid this
type of software.
However, I don't know if you tried this software, but from my point of view, phrase like "Dumo is a user-friendly
driver updater" doesn't quite represent what this software is actually doing - it only informs you that there is
some update for your drivers. And when you actually click on a "Download" button, it sends you to some google custom search page or some manufacturer page (or even first to some KC web page).
And results are hit & miss - you still have to manually choose from a list of googled links or sometimes it simply just throws you on a manufacturer home page. Yes, it does hardware identifying, but at the end, it is only doing google search for you (almost GIYF style :) ).
So for me, this is more as some kind of driver update informer/helper than the real updater (not even monitor as it is not continuously monitoring and notifying you about available updates).
Save | Cancel
No, I haven't tried the program. It's important to mention it. Mine was a general remark, which shouldn't be construed either as praise for this particular software, or a critique of it.

Clairvaux: the value to consumers of GOTD has always been not only the promotional offers it facilitates but the comments section which it also provides. Today is a case in point. Your own comment, and that of Sandy at post #11, are constructive and coherent. To you both, and to GOTD, sincere thanks.

MikeR,
You're most welcome.

Statement "Dumo is a user-friendly driver updater..." is actually not quite true.
OK, it shows you if there's an update for your drivers, but there is certainly nothing user-friendly
in having to do a lot of clicks and manually choosing drivers for download instead
of direct download and automatic install...
Save | Cancel
Not to mention that this program gives driver updates to items that can't be updated. Pass.
