The disadvantage of incognito mode are similar to the advantages. The incognito mode helps to prevent the local computer from recording any history of your online ventures. Where it can be useful in some places, it can also result in lack of data and lack of caches that you need to identify yourself on a site.

This means you need to input your data again and again in order to operate it. Moreover, the mode gives you a false sense of security that you are protected from online dangers. However, sites can visualize your IP so you are exposing yourself to the unknown out there.
