SonicWall
- Product line page names no price for any firewall model, series or bundled security service

- Limited cloud agents access on free tier
- Limited collaboration features on free tier
- Limited cloud conversation storage on free tier
- IME input not properly handled on macOS (discarded during command or Agent output)
- Terminal zoom functionality does not properly resize grid in TUI applications, causing misaligned rendering
