There is commercial software as well. Personally I use Vuescan from 
Hamrick Software and never looked back. The reason is that I do a lot of 
film scanning (old B/W and color negatives) and Vuescan has excellent 
support for (almost) all types of scanners and films. It's easy to use 
and installation is straightforward.
