Advantages of Django:

  • A full-featured framework with a large set of tools "out of the box": ORM, authentication system, admin panel.
  • Rapid development thanks to the MTV architecture (Model-Template-View) and the availability of many ready-made solutions.
  • Good documentation and a large community.
  • High level of security: built-in mechanisms to protect against CSRF, XSS, SQL injections.

Disadvantages of Django:

  • May be excessive for simple or very specific projects.
  • Less flexible compared to microframeworks (e.g., Flask), especially if you need to finely tune components.
  • ORM sometimes limits complex queries, requiring the writing of "raw" SQL.

Thus, Django is excellent for quickly creating reliable web applications with a standard set of features, but it can be excessive for lightweight or heavily customized projects.
