Nothing can beat ethereum as this is the original and team are contineously developing their project to provides a smooth and fast transations. There are some following the steps such as Neo, waves, etc.. but it will be a long run for them to officially become a great competitor . For now they are just a second option.
I think the ethereum transaction process is very fast. and I also believe that the other option will not bo able to beat the fame of ethereum. because for me ethereum is the most potent coin
