Installing service mesh introduces a side car proxy which is a 2nd hop or 2nd layer which adds to the latency to the application end point. Also the side car proxies consume some resources like RAM and CPU. Also the pricing is on higher side if the cluster is not anthos managed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
