You'll have to specify what era you're interested in. In olden times, there have been groups which branched away from normative Judaism: the Jewish idolaters, Hellenisers, Sadducees, Baithusim (Boethusians), Essenes, and followers of false messiahs such as the Sabbateans and Frankists. All of them have gone lost to history. The Karaites also, are a mere shadow of their past numbers.
