HI,

You can consider, AMOS, Mplus or Stata for your analysis. All these software are user-friendly and easy to learn.

Kind regards

Based on my experience of handling panel dataset, I would suggest to try STATA for your inquiry. I found it more user friendly and the global STATA community are very responsive while you drop any query. Please find the SEM-STATA manual and a useful presentation by David M. Drukker at the following link.
