Cons Grabit:

Does not work optimally, with multiple news servers.
Takes more computing power from your computer. Then for example, the program Sabnzbd or NZBget.
Processing downloaded headers. Can take a very long time. In practice you hardly use this anymore. Instead, Nzb files are used. You can download these nzb files from various sources. For example from SpotNet websites, NewzNab sites, but also from nzb search engines.
Can’t extract everything. Grabit is often behind with techniques to hide files in the newsgroups. The program Sabnzbd. And NZBGet don’t have this problem.
