Enterprise Architecture Tools

1. Sparx Enterprise Architect
This is my favorite tool, it comes with a TOGAF Repository, UML, Archimate, BPMN, modelling can be done using Sparx EA. This is an enterprise grade tool. The top tool of choice for any EA practice.
2. Archi
This tool is an open source Archimate modelling tool. It is a very user friendly tool, and a top quality open source tool. I would recommend Archi for anyone looking for a tool for Archimate drawings for free.
3. Bizagi Process Modeler
Bizagi is an Open Source BPMN Modelling tool. While it may not be the most user friendly option, it does pack  the benefits of a free BPMN tool.
4. CA ERwin
The Computer Associates ERwin tool is an ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) tool, which is capable of delivering data models, for data architecture. This is an intuitive tool for anyone with knowledge on ERDs.
