Been using it as a AnyConnect VPN solution for over a year now
We setup an EC2 instance to act as an AnyConnect VPN gateway, to be able to access our various IP addresses in AWS and even resources in our office because the office has an ipsec link to AWS. And yeah, it's been working great/solid for a little over a year now. We have about 15 remote employees who anyconnect vpn into it regularly. We don't set the default route to go out through the vpn though, because AWS charges for network traffic, but we route all our private IP's and a small handful of public IP addresses through the vpn tunnel and it's been stable.

Good Firewall and VPN solution
What do you like best about the product?
Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv) is a good solution for a secure firewall or SSL VPN, you can use it in very different scenarios, since an small solution for securing your network, or you can virtualize your VPN peer solution for VPN SSL service. You can integer with Cisco ISE and deploy a complete solution thanks to Anyconnect and Posture requirements.

default password - read the directions
Folks the inquiries about the default password... Sigh- read the directions. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa99/asav/quick-start/asav-quick/asav-aws.html
Here is how to make it work... BEFORE you launch the AMI you must click advanced details and ADD a zero day configuration via text entry. Once you do connect via SSH and the username is admin. That said I was a victim too on the first try.
VPN Security
What do you like best about the product?
That it provides maximum security as for the VPN Network especially when we use our tools for modification purposes with client accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it glitches and does not work and puts an error with our internet connection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It definitely helps us with our country or internet protocol locked tools using with our job.
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.
Nice to have
It's easy to manage because ASA OS is same as appliances.
I think ASAv is supported via a Smart License model.
