Secondary data means information that has already been processed and collected by somebody else.

Disadvantages are, for example:

-The information can be biased

-The information may not perfectly suit you research objective (information may be qualitative)

These two main points are decisive and non-debatable enough.

Assuming that you are referring to secondary data analysis or the analysis of existing data sets, the primary disadvantage is that you have no control over what has been collected, and most likely no direct contact with respondents to clarify data issues.
