  • UMUC uses Sparx (http://www.sparxsystems.com/) but dislike it and are stopping.
  • Archi (http://archi.cetis.ac.uk/) maps to UML and is a simple tool for working with Archimate (http://www.opengroup.org/subjectareas/enterprise/archimate)
  • Scott Fullerton at UW-Madison likes to use UML and MagicDraw UML because it enforces rigor when you need to make sure things are rigorous.
