Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X vs Paragon ExtFS opinions
This alternative is disputed. Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X is still a legitimate alternative to Paragon ExtFS, but it might have issues that some users think are important.

Paragon ExtFS allows r/w access for drives formatted as ext2, ext3, or ext4. Paragon NTFS is for r/w access for NTFS formatted drives. The two are not interchangeable at all, let alone a good alternative to one another.
