For younger kids, the Amazon Fire 10 kids edition tablets are nice (nearly indestructible, cheap, parent controls and a lot of content if you subscribe to Kids+). If you have several kids, you can get 3 Amazon Fires for the price of an iPad. They are useful as long as kids don't need to use a browser, because Amazon's Silk is horrible. And you should probably avoid the Fire 7/8, because they are too slow... (haven't use the latest 7/8 models, but they still have slower CPUs than the 10 inch models)
But for adults, I don't think Android tablets are worth the trouble. iPads just work, while Android apps do not always work that well on tablets. Also, iPads are really fast. And while they are more expensive, they have a much higher resale value.

The microSD card sometimes stops working (and since some apps were moved to it because built-in storage was running out), they become inaccessible). It's a good value for a quarter of what an iPad costs, but an iPad is a lot more than 4x more usable.
