vastly

By enormous margins

Vastly means to a very great degree or extent, used to emphasize the scale of a difference or comparison: The sequel was vastly inferior to the original.

It intensifies adjectives and verbs that already suggest magnitude: vastly underestimated, vastly outnumbered, vastly different.

The word carries more weight than simply or greatly.
