Easy to use and deploy

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to deploy and manage. Being virtual has it’s benefits and if you’re not doing much throughout, it’s the way to go.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ASDM interface still runs on Java which is clunky at best. Would be nice to have an HTML5 interface or you can just manage it via SSH.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Less hardware allows for more space in the data center.

No information on default password?

Would love to have actually used this product properly but at the moment the usage details for the standard ASAv AMI on AWS say to use an ssh username of 'admin' but despite creating and using a key-pair any connection will prompt for a password ... which isn't listed anywhere in the doco or usage notes. Come on guys...

Really close to the physical rackmount version

Using these for work for most of the year now with a site-to-site tunnel from an asa-v in us-east-1 to an asa-v in us-west-2 as well as several incoming site-to-site tunnels and remote access VPN on both 9.5.2.204 and 9.5.2.207. Make sure you know what you're doing...you're comfortable with Cisco config via user data (and later ASDM if needed), you have compared what ASA-v doesn't provide, etc. otherwise you'll give undeserved 1-star reviews like those before. Only issue seen so far is Syslog can die with lots of traffic around a month in (204) or several months in (207) which requires a restart of the appliance. I'm hoping 9.6.2.1 fixes that. Other than that a ChangeLog for each AMI version would be nice to see.

Do you even test your AMI ?

After creating an instance, I am asked a password when I connect with admin user. How am I supposed to log into this new instance ?

It's easy to manage because ASA OS is same as appliances.
I think ASAv is supported via a Smart License model.

Cisco is not supporting this product
You need to buy a service contract with this appliance first there is no support from Cisco
