ASA5506 with FirePower

[ccz]

Is FMC required for ASA5506 with FirePower?. or with ASDM, i can manage and monitor everything (Control, IPS, URL Filtering and AMP)?

What is the advantage of using FMC instead of ASDM for simple deployment?

Rgds.

FMC is not required. FMC (in my opinion) mostly adds much better reporting and allows you to create policies across devices.

The ASDM lets you configure everything up, but the reporting is far more limited.
