10gigabit for masses
This joined my Ubiquity 24-port 10Gbps switch, to be in a second room.

It just works. Nice, silent, small, smart, but works out of the box.

Works nicely with Ubiquity SFP+ 10GBASE-SR modules, and Mellanox ConnectX-3 EN cards on another side (with same SFP+ modules). I just started working with fiber 2 weeks ago (after using copper for last 15 years in a lot of stuff and network), and I already love it (not just performance, but cabling is so nice).
Pro
Works out of the box
Zero configuration
Excellent performance
Can switch into router mode, with A LOT of functionality
Nice and functional industrial design
Silent and cool
Has option of redundant power supply (wide input voltage DC on both).
Do not be scared of Fiber, it is easy and prices are actually good
Contra
As usual mikrotik usually sucks with default security and no way to trigger automatic updates

Great product
Perfect product to switch 4x 10Gbps devices.

You should be aware that if you use Ethernet SFP+ Adapters you should find a way to add active cooling or they will probably overheat. I laid a 120mm case fan atop and it works flawlessly while remaining very silent.
Pro
Great throughput
High configurability
Price-point
Contra
May need active cooling

The 16x SFP+ in small. Perfect for the office
This is the small version of the 16 port SFP+ switch from MikroTik. Like the 16 port, the switch runs on RouterOS or SwitchOS. I use SwitchOS, which is perfectly sufficient for my needs.
The switch can't match the features of an enterprise switch from HPE or Cisco, but offers more than enough for the normal small home lab.
The switch to SwOS is not that intuitive, but you can find everything on the net.
Pro
10GBE for the office for little money
Choice between RouterOS and SwOS
Can be powered via PoE
VLANs
IGMP Snooping
Contra
With RJ-45 10G plug on 30m the case gets too warm for my taste

Good value 10gig switch
Fantastic switch for the money - would not recommend to use this as a L3 device even though there is a router based operating system available.
Using this as a cheap tengig distribution switch in a datacenter, tying together two ISP routers and one colo rack downlink. Would recommend as a switch.
Pro
4 SFP+ ports
3 possible power inputs
fanless
Contra
clunky web interface

Good price/performance ratio
Small, powerful SFP+ switch with possibility of redundant power supply. Attention it is delivered only with an external power supply.
Pro
Favorable
PoE
Contra
Only one power supply included

Great value for money
What this little box offers for just over CHF 120 is enormous. The functions are at professional level and that is also its weak point, if you can call it that at all. Router OS is aimed at professionals. A layman who has no or only consumer component experience is easily overwhelmed.
Pro
Small
Passive
Router OS with endless professional functions
Solid, well-ventilated metal housing
Redundant power connection
Contra
Rather unsuitable for network beginners
Mag Ubiquiti fibre to RJ45 transceiver only after switching off the RX Controll
