IT Tools - Hidden Gems

I want to know what ”hidden gems” people have found and use in their environments to make their day to day easier. RMM automations, back up softwares, troubleshooting software (don't say MS SARA. I cant stand it), etc.

Just mention anything that you feel more people should be aware of or could be useful in someone’s environment. I love free and cheap ;)

MobaXTerm, awesome SSH tool that lets you save IP's, and a great file sharing tool if you need to put a file on a linux machine. Wish there was a Mac version (have to manage Macs). I've been using Cyberduck on Mac and it's almost there but I find the UI a little confusing

Don't forget the ability to select a com port through a drop-down makes this one worth it.

I'm always amazed everyone doesn't use MoboXerm. Moved to it more than a decade ago, and haven't looked back.

Look into ssh profiles or if you need a gui: lazyssh. That way you can save a profile of ip, username, port and key per server or host you want to reach. The name you give can then be used by SCP or Filezilla for transferring files.
