We are buying Mikrotik fiber switch, CRS326-24S+2Q+RM. And we are about to buy the SFP+ transcoder and the one on the market today (I’m talking about Brazil) is from the Ubiquiti brand, the UACC-OM-SM-10G-S-2. Does anyone have experience with this “combination”? Or if you have positive reports (or not) with the “similar combination”, between the mikrotik switch and ubiquiti transcoder.
No experiance at all, I know it doesnt help with this case but in the future there is mikrotik help page with some 3rd party vendor peripherals and if they are supported or not:

same problem
Hi, do you probe this combination?
AA
It works fine. In general, MikroTik switches take just about any SFP module you can throw at them.
Definitely not true. For example Ubiquiti UACC-CM-RJ45-1G SFP to RJ45 Adapter is not useable with Mikrotik devices. To be on the safe side see MikroTik wired interface compatibility part of the documentation.
Regarding the lower cost optics and transceivers you may try FS ones (however for example the Mikrotik S-RJ01 is usually offered for less than a comparable FS one), pleas note that YMMV.
I have a CRS326-24S+2Q+RM using an Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-10G-S-2 module, so yes, it works fine. If a module doesn’t work this may be due to compatibility issues, but MikroTik switches do not in any way try to prevent you from using competitors SFP modules (thus confirming that yes, ‘they take just about sfp module you can throw at them’ is factually correct).
Fezzfest:
un9edsda did provide an example of a module which does NOT work.
So your facts are not entirely correct.
The correct answer is and will always be:
if it’s not on the compatibility pages, it has not been tested and it’s your own responsibility.
It may work (and in some cases it will), it may not work at all.
So be careful if it has not been tested.
The only way to get a non-working module working, is to ask support if it can be added, if possible. If they get enough requests (and it can be done), they might do it.
Providing one example of a module that does not work in no way undermines my statement that MikroTik switches in general take just about any SFP module thrown at them. In contrast to other manufacturers, MikroTik will not deliberately block other vendors’ SFP modules from working in their equipment. If an SFP module does not properly follow the standard or the standard is too vague to allow a deterministic outcome, it might not work (but this is in no way MikroTik’s fault). The chances of this occuring with classic SM/MM SFP modules (I’ve even thrown in some fiber channel modules) is just about non-existent, it always seems to occur with “special” modules such as RJ45/copper, VDSL or GPON modules.
I agree; I found out that even Cisco FET-10G modules work, and get recognized for what they effectively are: 10GBASE-SR with 100M reach over OM-3 fiber. And they don’t even work in other Cisco switches (than the Nexus master en fabric extender switches they are meant for).
Plenty of examples where it does not work.

This comment says more or less the same as what I already indicated:
If it works for you, fine.
But don’t ever think it’s going to be smooth sailing each and every time … everyone needs to keep that in mind.
Well, the only one of those that surprises me somewhat is the BiDi transceiver (the SFP-BX-U31) not working. The others are all weird-ish stuff: copper transceivers (not really weird, but aways a bit finicky for some reason), XPON, 100BASE-FX… I have used a number of different BiDi 1G SFPs, 10GBASE-SR (Cisco original, Cisco-coded third party, and third party generic), Cisco FET-10G and they all worked in my CRS309, CRS305 and CCR-1036.
Like someone else said above, I think as long as you keep to ‘standard’ optics (SR, ER, LR, most of the BXes) you’re probably OK. More off-the-wall stuff is a try-it-and-see.
I can confirm that i was able to make Ubiquiti UACC-CM-RJ45-1G work. it wasnt traightfoward but the steps are very easy to replicate. Interfaces -> ethernet, select the desired sfp port -> remove auto negotiation and select speed to 1G baset full and save it. after you need to disable and enable again. wait 10 seconds and there you go 
I just test it and speedtest is showing 1GB for up and down loads
