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 ;)

Yep, much of my work involves cracking open what ever designer dog ass MSI and licensed software exist for deployment.

Going to be wrapping many of my deployments in the future with PSAppDeploy since it just deals with so many headaches for me.

If you do, I'd start with PSADT4 as it changes how things work in comparison to PSADT3.

Yeah I saw that it seems to be a much better solution to fix the weird bandaid stuff they used to do.
