The best thing about Spring is that it allows the code to be divided into 3 layers Model View and Controller.This allows the code to be highly reusable and very small in length.Also integration with other frameworks like Quartz is also easy when using Spring.

It requires some high level configuration which is a bit tough.But once it is setup it works like a charm Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Automates lot of technical stuff needed in almost all java based web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is really abstract for using. Creating the first application with Spring is really a nightmare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple and Easy to Use. Most of the Spring features are integrated as a package out of the box. Need to just pull in the necessary parent starter pom to get all the features without having the hassle of cherry picking the dependent libraries. Light Weight. Multiple choices of embedded containers which can be used such as Tomcat, Jetty or Undertow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Limited Container choices (Only Tomcat, Jetty or Undertow is supported). Cannot be integrated with other licensed containers like Weblogic, Websphere, JBoss etc., A bit of a steep learning curve to understand the out of the box features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dependency injection helps us decouple the code, and we can use XML to configure different beans for different clients. We have been able to remove most of the static method calls, and inject the object which makes it easier for unit testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
too much XML configuration might sometimes get hassle, and difficult to manage. Also, there might be bugs introduced since XML data is not properly validation such as Java compilation error. XML sometimes can be very difficult and time consuming to debug compare to configuring in Java which provides compile time error instead of run time error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SpringBoot give java developer a very simply way to develop micro service and every enterprise feature is easy to enable by adding a few maven dependencies and annotations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Startup for some complex application may take a few seconds to finish server up due to full class scanning. I know there is some progress in optimizing this and looking forward for the feature ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
