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

PathLock
It is a very good software for securing your enterprise software. It helps you keep the access secure. It integrates over 100 applications. It monitors all user activity permissions and data security control all over our applications from one panel. PathLock can automate all user access reviews and can identify all sensitive data access to produce complaint reporting for SOX, CCPA, GDPR, and many more regulations. There is a high degree of automation in the software.

Metasploit is an all around good suite of tools to test and validate potential vulnerabilites. Other tools have bits and pecies such as Nmap, Nessus, Burp Suite, etc. but Metasploit can function in the same way but more.
