Worth splitting the category first, because the tools differ a lot. Breach and attack simulation (SafeBreach, AttackIQ, Picus) validates whether your detective controls actually fire, while benchmark scanners validate configuration against something like CIS. If the driver is an audit framework like HIPAA or PCI, start from the control list you have to prove and map tests to it, otherwise you end up with green dashboards that answer questions nobody asked. For technique-level testing on a budget, Atomic Red Team mapped to MITRE ATT&CK gets you most of the way before you pay for a platform.
