Comments about Microsoft Word as a Alternative to Scrivener
Word has none of the benefits Scrivener brings for organisation, research, collecting and so forth. They couldn't be much more different really.
3MS Word is a word processor, not an authoring tool. It has no knowledge of scenes, let alone characters or locations or items. It has very limited ability to handle text that is about the document but not part of the document and attaches to no specific point, or multiple specific points, in the document.
13Scrivener is not a word processor. Microsoft Word is nothing but.
2MS Word is a nice text editor, but it really doesn't have the ability to make ebooks that stand out like Scrivener does. Scrivener is a complete author's workshop.

Comments about Ulysses as a Alternative to Scrivener
ndas1Primarily oriented towards "scripts" for film, play, etc. Might be useful for (non)fiction writing but does not share the wider array of tools found in Scrivener.
