It’s definition is clear and it is easy to compute.
Extreme observations do not affect its value.
Quartile deviation can also be computed for the open - ended frequency distribution,

Disadvantages of Quartile Deviation:

All the observations of the data are not used in its computation.
It is not a suitable measure for other algebraic manipulations.
It is widely affected by the fluctuations of sampling.
