SpatiaLite is a spatial database extension to SQLite, providing similar functionality to PostGIS but within the SQLite ecosystem, mainly suitable for smaller datasets or mobile applications.
ArcGIS
ArcGIS is a comprehensive GIS software suite. While it can connect to PostGIS, it also offers its own spatial database solutions (e.g., ArcSDE) which serve as alternatives.
ArcGIS Enterprise
ArcGIS Enterprise is a full web GIS platform from ESRI. It competes with the PostGIS/GeoServer stack by providing a comprehensive solution for managing and serving geospatial data.
ArcGIS Online
ArcGIS Online is Esri's cloud-based GIS platform. It is a competitor because it provides mapping, spatial analysis, and data storage capabilities as an alternative to using PostGIS with other open-source tools.
ArcGIS Server
ArcGIS Server is a component of ArcGIS Enterprise. It provides the services for serving spatial data, making it a direct competitor to GeoServer, which can serve PostGIS data.
