Hello Guys,

I need help about  Cisco FireSight Management is mandatory in FirePower ASA5512 firewalls and 5515 or we can use Cisco ASDM?

Only if you have and need to use the FirePOWER modules in those models. If you do, you must also purchase and setup FireSIGHT Management Center (FMC) to configure policies and monitor the modules.

The 5506, 5506W, 5508 and 5516 do not require a separate FMC as there is a light version of FMC available in the ASDM for those platforms. However, FMC still is recommended for full function and most deployments.
