competitors (see note)
In English, this term appears to not be translated directly but instead sentences like the following are used:
The "XXX" performed better on random disk access test than "YYY" or "ZZZ".
When used directly, usually the word "competitor" is used, even for devices, with the implied understanding that we know competitor means "the device from competing manufacturer which is in the same product category" See the links for examples of typical writing styles.
