Decent scanning software for Windows?

[General Crespin]

We have an HP LaserJet Pro at home and the HP program on Windows 11 sucks compared to my much cheaper Brother dedicated document scanner I have in the office. Lack of QOL features like auto-deskew, blank page removal, OCR… I’ve tried the HP software and the built-in scanning programs in Windows 11. None of them are good in comparison to the Brother.

Is there any decent scanning software I can use with our HP that will give me comparable features to the Brother program?

SANE and a front end (free) or VueScan (paid)? I'd poke around at SANE and a front end first since it's free.
