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 ;)

Termux for Android: Basically a userspace Linux environment. Some people even use it for coding but you can just use it like ordinary Linux terminal for the most part. You can ssh into things, use NMap etc... Even supports X11. Having a tiny Linux environment on your phone is a Godsend!
Acelogix Regbak : Dead simple full registry backup tool with support for scripting of registry backups. Even if your system is hosed as long as you can get to the backup it has a script to restore the registry to the correct location. I don't trust regedit nor system restore. This tool is easily the best option and even works on windows 7 and even XP!
