Disadvantages
The most resistant criticism of Benchmarking comes from the idea of copying others.
It is not a strategy nor is it intended to be a business philosophy. Therefore, it is a time taking technique.
Benchmarking is not “instant pudding”. It will not improve performance if proper infrastructure of Total Quality Management is not in place.

Conclusion
Now a days, more than 60% companies in the world uses this technique for fixing their target for continuous improvement. For them it is an important tool. But to be effective it must be used properly. It breaks down (waste money, time and energy and some times morale too) if process owners and managers feel threatened or do not accept and act on the findings. Finally, benchmarking is not a substitute for innovation; however, it is a source of ideas from outside the organization.
