An obvious one would be that Sage does not run natively on Windows *yet* (but this disadvantage should mention that the online Sage notebook makes it easy to access Sage using Windows, and that it is also possible to run Sage inside of a virtual machine like VMWare or VirtualBox). I think Sage is less consistent in syntax and less powerful than MMA in some things, like plotting and differential equations.
