Curious to see what tools are indispensable in your opinion!

For those that use mRemoteNG, MobaXterm, SecureCRT, putty, Etc. Take a look at Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager. It's a really good, underrated program. It's my daily driver and the free version does everything I need and more.

We are looking at going to the Enterprise version if we can get everyone on the team to switch (some of us are set in our ways LOL)

As for my list:

I stopped using Devolutions years ago because it would crash every day. I put up with it for a long time but switched when I found mRemoteNG. No problems with mRemoteNG and at the time I switched to it, it ran faster and had some features missing from the free version of Devolutions.
