The only alternative I can think of would be paper wallets but, these are not suitable for spending on a regular basis. Hardware wallets are still a great choice IMO and since they are not vulnerable for remote attacks, they still have some credibility. Ledger nano statement on this when they released their latest firmware update:

Important note: there are some claims on Reddit and Twitter about a critical security issue being found on the Nano S. This is incorrect. The issues found are serious (that’s why we highly recommend the update), but NOT critical. Funds have not been at risk, and there was no demonstration of any real life attack on our devices. We will disclose all technical details after March 20th.

I haven't heard of any issues with KeepKey.

The reason why no one found security issues on KeepKey is probably due to the small userbase they have compared to Trezor and Ledger nano S.
