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
Yarn
- Yarn 2+ (Berry) has limited ESM support which can be a constraint for some projects
- Smaller ecosystem and community compared to npm, though still substantial
