Be careful!
It is a very good audio interface.I like to record with it, good quality sound and I love the direct monitoring without any latency. It is awsome that I can use XLR and 1/4 cable to connect instruments and microphones.
But be careful! With MAC you need no driver but with WINDOWS you do. You don't receive a CD with the driver so you have to download it from internet. The problem is that there is no driver for WINDOWS 7 64bits! Really Behringer?
If you contact them they will send you a link to download an uncertified beta driver that will be stopped by the OS because Windows 7 64 bits allow just certified driver to be installed.You can solve this problem by certifing it by yourself but this process its not for everyone.It took me a while to get it done.So Windows 7 64bits users be careful to this.This is the only con, but its a big one.
Concerning other things I like everything about it.I like the fact that I can use it instead of an amplifier for my guitars and then connect headphones or an audio sistem.

There is now official driver for Windows 7 to Windows 10 available at http://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behringer/Computer-Audio/Audio-Interfaces/UMC202HD/p/P0BJZ/downloads

Does not work with Linux
It is built as a tank and has enough features. I previously had a UMC404 and wanted a smaller one. Unfortunately this one does not work with Linux. Strange, because the UMC404 (no HD) worked flawlessly. But this one keeps having dropouts, even at long latencies.

This interface aiming to a very specific group of user.
Not for recording/streaming. Very good for instrumental recording/live monitoring.
If you plug your mic/instrument on the left input, only the left channel will output that sound. Respectively on the right input.
There is an old driver version which let you choose to have your mic output to 1 channel instead which will enable you to hear sound from your mic on both side of your headset. But the newer/latest drivers wont let you do that.

es funktioniert aber rauscht
Es ist einfach zu benutzen und stabil gebaut, aber bei mir rauscht der Klinkeneingang massiv. es reicht zum jammen, aber nicht zum amateurhaften Aufnehmen.

Fine
It takes a while to get all the drivers installed (Windows 10). Once installed and running, I realised the headphone jack is somewhat unreliable - the sound cuts from the left channel sometimes, and when a headphone jack is inserted into the slot the left and right channels bleed into each other. I have to pull the cord out slightly (one or two millimetres) to get proper stereo working.
Once you get past the kinks its fine - mic and line inputs can handle very loud and very quiet sounds perfectly. Easy to use controls, and shows up correctly as 2 inputs in Reaper.

Decent budget interface
It does exactly what it needs to but one thing. The direct monitoring is hard-panned in stereo, meaning that the input to the first channel will be heard in the left and the input to the second channel will be heard in the left. This is my only complaint with this interface. In hindsight, I should have bought the UMC204HD - as it has the option for mono direct monitoring.
However, if you don't need this feature, this is a great budget interface.

Cheap interface for limited usage
Bought this for a temporary solution, it did its job well enough but everything about it says "cheapest you can get". Wouldn't probably last very long doing shows. I was more than happy to get rid of it when I came across what I was originally looking for.
Liked: Enough connections for its price. Drivers are ok. Speaker outputs sounded ok through a PA system.
Didn't like: Makes snaps and pops when powering on. Very plastic knobs and connectors. Hissy headphone amp.
