there are not much dislike here but one thing i wants to point out is initial setup is quite difficult if you are not aware of much of the tech also for personal use i was going through the documentation but it was not much of help full
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it has good network security without connecting to this i cant access my company contenet which is very good idea so that some how if some has my laptop with out connecting to OPNsense they cant access the content also as i have mentioned earlier it is cost effective it has good web filtering like my organisation doesnt allow us to open our personal gmail in company laptop so we cant access all thanks to OPNsense

It's opnsense. Works well, if you read the docs.

If you've used opnsense on hardware, which you probably have if you're reading this - you know what to expect. It's a good product and super useful. What I will say is that between the confusion that can be AWS networking and the fact that the initial root password is shown once, it can be challenging. However, the documentation for this AMI is extremely good, and once set up, works exactly like you would expect it to. I would highly recommend it.

instance not reachable after update -> no support for nitro systems (not possible to pick such an instance) -> no serial console -> not working for me.

OPNsense has a ton of features. Everything I need.
For security reasons there is no default password. This is nice from security point of view but can be confusing for new users. Therefore check documentation https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/installaws.html#step-11-initial-root-password and have a look at console output after first boot.

The deployment is easy and hassle free because it come configured out of the box, just need to setup a proper AWS infrastructure for it to funtion. Overall, it works fine for me.
