I am looking for suitable software (paid or free) that can be used for optimizing traffic light cycles at an intersection.
You can not optimize cycle length using VISSIM.
VISSIM is an only simulation program. Therefore, all mathematical computations related to signal timings (cycle time, green times) should be made by the users. But, If you use VISTRO (it is an also PTV AG product) with VISSIM, you can optimize signal timings (green times and cycle lengths).
According to me, SIDRA Intersection can be used for optimizing signal timings. Because I think that it has a great mathametical framework. Besides, you can use also Synchro, CORSIM and etc.
Hi Ujwal. Based on my personal experience I will suggest,
1. Synchro
https://www.trafficware.com/synchro.html
2. Transyt-7f
https://mctrans.ce.ufl.edu/mct/index.php/hcs/transyt-7f/
3. PTV Vistro
https://vision-traffic.ptvgroup.com/en-us/products/ptv-vistro/use-cases/signal-optimization/
Those all are very powerful tools for optimisation, however all are paid. Vistro and Synchro have very good graphical user interface compared to Transyt-7f.
Good luck with your work.
Best regards,
Sarang
Synchro is very powerful but I've worked with TSIS-CORSIM which could come in handy since it's a microscopic traffic simulation software package for signal highway, freeway systems, or combined signal, highway and freeway systems. It's also an integrated development environment which can enables you to conduct traffic operations analysis. Good luck
There are several softwares however for optimizing the traffic signals SYNCHO STUDIO is the best option considering the ease to model the roadway network and the accuracy of outputs. SYNCHRO is widely used in the industry for this purpose.

Synchro is a macroscopic analysis and optimization software application. The Synchro Studio suite of products provides the best in traffic analysis, optimization, and simulation applications. Synchro’s signal optimization routine allows the user to weight specific phases, thus providing users more options when developing signal timing plans. Synchro supports multiple scenarios to a single file. Because the software is easy to use, traffic engineers are modeling within days, thus adding to the number of reasons why Synchro remains the leading traffic analysis application. I recommend it.

Dear Ujwal,
I agree with Dr @Ziya Cakici and recommend you SIDRA Intersection software for signal cycle optimization. For the details you can refer the following link

On the other hand, CORSIM, Synchro softwares may be helpful.
Dear Ujwal Sah
TRANSYT-7F (for network of intersection ), SIDRA Intersection and Synchro.
there is many research papers compared which is the best for these software
