How does it compare to Chrony[1]?

As far as I know, chrony cannot be an authoritative time server, i.e., get the time of an atomic clock or GPS receiver and send it to other computers.

NTP needs time sources too, not just clients.

Chrony is just another ntp client, not an alternative to ntp itself.
