Some do, but they shouldn't.

The Anglican 39 Articles of Religion say this: "The Romish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshipping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God."

The Rosary includes prayers to Mary, who is a Saint, which as the Article says is not biblically warranted.

It is also worth considering what Jesus said: he warned against thinking that prayers will be answered "because of their many words" (Matthew 6:7).

Are there other religion or sect using Rosary?

Use of the rosary is primarily found in the Catholic church, though a few branches of Christianity such as the Anglo-Catholic Anglicans and the Lutheran Church. The Anglican rosary prayers tend not to include the Luminous Mysteries (Jesus' Baptism, The Wedding at Cana, Jesus' Proclamation of the Kingdom of God, the Transfiguration, the Institution of the Eucharist) or the Fatima prayer. There is also a separate "Anglican Rosary" which is not quite the same. The Lutherans follow the same format as the Catholic church, but replace "Hail Mary" with the "Jesus Prayer", excluding at the end of the Mysteries, where it is recited -- though in this case it omits the line "Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death". This "Hail Mary" may also be replaced with the "Magnificat" or "Evangelical Praise for the Mother of God".

It depends which Anglicans and Puritans you mean! Anglicans were members of the Church of England, and the Puritan movement sought to bring about a more 'pure' (i.e. more thoroughly reformed) church.
