It is slower (encrypting and decrypting takes time).
It can scare users when things go (even slightly) wrong. Mixed content warnings, expired certificates, invalid certificates will cause many browsers to present scary warnings to the user.
It is more complicated. Your server needs to redirect non-https traffic, you need to do configuration and install certificates, make sure they are valid and up to date.
It is costly, you need to pay for ssl certificates (or use a self-signed one, but that is not generally a realistic option).
