I am using iTerm2. It has great UI and features like Tagged Profiles, Automatic Profile Switch, SSH Password Manager.

Tabby have a connection manager and it is another great SSH client alternative to MobaXterm.
Link to iTerm2 and Tabby. Both are free and open source.

MobaXterm is a support (SSH) client for SSH, FTP, RDP, SFTP, telnet, HTML Editor, XDMCP, and Rlogin. What sets this apart from many other SSH clients? Maybe because of the X server with lots of support for macros, plugins, and add-ons. Another nice characteristic is that it is portable as it can be stored on a flash drive and run from it. It also doesn't require the complicated installation that those dealing with typical SSH clients encounter. Unfortunately, for all its advantages, this SSH client is not available for macOS users.
