Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
ESET NOD32 Antivirus
- The advertised price applies to the first term only, and renewal reverts to the official list price
- Any saving shown is the difference between the introductory price and that list price rather than an ongoing discount
- Device coverage is chosen at purchase and priced accordingly, so protecting another machine means changing the licence
SonicWall
- Product line page names no price for any firewall model, series or bundled security service
- Product tiers are segmented strictly by business size (TZ80 for micro-SMBs up to NSsp for large enterprises), so a growing business must migrate hardware series rather than scale within one model
