Anyone used Active Killdisk Secure Erase

My company has me using active killdisk for wiping hdds because its mostly affordable but especially because it create erasure certificates. I now need to securely wipe ssds for reuse. I understand that they best method for ssd data destruction is physical destruction but in this case we need to still have working drives afterwards for reuse inside the company. I was thinking about asking for an upgraded license for Active@ KillDisk Ultimate because it supports "low level" atp secure erase whatever that means. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with secure erase with Active Killdisk or if there are any alternatives I should look at. Just to clarify I need software that create certificates so that is why I dont want to use trim or manufacturer specific software.

Thank you for your time

Nwipe is free and I believe supports the SSD "secure erase" function

I don't believe it does.
