Are there any platforms that you have come across that cater to professionals in a unique way? What features of these platforms stand out to you compared to LinkedIn?

there are no global players like linkedin, though there is Xing, but it's active in some certain countries.

I doubt that there are any alternatives when it comes to social networks that are a good fit for different professions. However, there are many niche communities where engagement is much higher precisely because they focus on a specific audience. For example, when I was involved in academic research, I used ResearchGate and Academia.edu. There are also some great communities for women entrepreneurs like "Dreaders & Doers," and good communities for founders such as "Foundernetwork," and so on. If you specify the sphere you are interested in, it will be easier to provide an answer :)
