Slow deployments

We have been switched to Firepower 1000 series, and this has given a lot of different situations where we hit a wall. We have been using the 1010 and the 1120 products. The 1010 we have switched away from because, in my experience, they run really bad, gets overheated and takes up wards 10 min to deploy to via Secure Cloud. The ones we had we actually change out to a 1120 even tho it's overkill. But just to make sure that the site is up and running. The 1120 is better, but we have had alot of weird experiences with them, this might not be the product itself. But can be that Secure Cloud is having a lot of bugs, still ones we are trying to figure out via TAC. One of the cases has been running for 6 months with no resolve yet, and, in my opinion, its starting to get frustrating and the TAC engineers are also clueless and cant provide any fix, all they say is, let's wait for the next big update and see if its fixed, this is horrible. So no, I wish I could recommend the products, because they seem to have a lot of great features, but since we are having so many issues, I can't recommend it at the moment.

Well like I said, performance is very slow, when you make a change in a policy, it takes 5 to 10 min to deploy, this is not really fast performance. When you are toubleshooting on lets say a opening, you have to make multiple deployments to finding the solution.

Yes we use VPN, and have it connected with small to do MFA, which actually works good. Also, I have been looking at the new analytics feature for policy shadowing rules, which seems like a great feature.
