Rapid7
It is easy to use with sufficient documentation on how to use the tools for end users or newbies. Experienced testers will find it easy to customise and configure the test cases. Just wished that I could have taken up a course on using this tool in my study days so that I could had explored more and improved my familiarity with the tool, unlike when working where access and time to explore the other features of the tool is limited

The NetworkMiner software in my view is a software recommended for small and/or large companies, it may be less useful in small companies or offices, but it can also be used for simple analysis. In medium and large scenarios, it is very useful in analyzing network traffic and identifying possible security flaws, password exposures and weaknesses in the security of solutions and/or technologies used in the internal network.

Metasploit is the most well-known tool in the average pen tester's toolkit. It's hard to compare to its neighbor's due to its size and following.
