| Remarks | Drawing diagrams is easy (with mouse). Update 2019: uml also supported | Very basic uml editor. | Very sofisticated editor with tons of features. Including project management, scrum. Extended navigation between linked diagram/elements. GUI not as good as Vis.Paradigm, missing basic features. | Modeling Tool - Astah Professional, Astah UML and Astah Community | basic uml editor with roundtrip code engineering | It seems to be about processes. Cant find a class diagram (quickly enough). | Really stupid. Cant find prices, you need to register first | Seemed dead since 2014, but moving to github june 2019 | Werkt redelijk goed. Niet geavanceerd, maar wel prettig. Printen van activity diagram is slecht | It completely supports UML2 and BPMN2, and provides extensions (modules) for SysML modeling, TOGAF modeling, Java (code generation, roundtrip & reverse) | |||||||
