The Ferengi were a failed villian species when they first appeared in TNG.
But I think they turned out fine. It was refreshing and entertaining how they were one of the few people allowed to greedy, sexist, and driven by profit. However they had their good points too like Quark caring about his nephew Rom.
Quark in general was a more morally sound Ferengi compared to others, comparatively speaking. One point even he knew weapons were more profitable than running a bar but he enjoys serving people and seeing their pleased reactions to his service.
Then there was the episode where he helped out his Klingon "wife"
