Servlet Advantage

• Servlets provide a way to generate dynamic documents that is both easier to write and faster to run.
• provide all the powerful features of JAVA, such as Exception handling and garbage collection.
• Servlet enables easy portability across Web Servers.
• Servlet can communicate with different servlet and servers.
• Since all web applications are stateless protocol, servlet uses its own API to maintain  session

Servlet Disadvantage

• Designing in servlet is difficult and slows down the application.
• Writing complex business logic makes the application difficult to understand.
• You need a Java Runtime Environment on the server to run servlets. CGI is a completely language independent protocol, so you can write CGIs in whatever languages you have available (including Java if you want to).
