The main disadvantage about antimatter is that it must be held away from its "ordinary" particle, preferably in a vacuum. This is because when they come into contact they completely eliminate each other. It's like if you add 1 with -1 it makes zero. However, if held properly, it can be excellent for research as we currently know very little about it. For example we don't know why there is so much more ordinary matter than antimatter.
