Short Tandem Repeats analysis

I need to analyze 3 nucleotides tandem repeats, which tool is best in your opinion for this goal?

I looked for this on Biostars but the last answer I managed to find was 2.5years ago. People told about lobSTR and NTRFinder. Are there any new good tools?

What kind of data do you have? Do you have (draft) genome assemblies? Transcriptome assemblies? Anyway, here and here are posts which are somewhat recent, a lot newer than 2.5 years.

I never used lobSTR, but as far as I understand it aims at finding STR on next-generation sequencing data. Is this the kind of data you have?

Yes, NGS data. hg19 is a reference genome

So the only software I am aware is lobSTR.
