Pros
Great, better than sharepoint search. Customizable, extensibiliy with load balancers are great, Clustering, Document sharding are great and wonderful features.
Easy to setup this application and very fast, can integrated with many framework and its simple. It has a good manageable dashboard also.
I used Solr in a hack-a-thon to build a consolidated search engine for internal company assets. It performed flawlessly and we had it up in running in just a few hours feeding it data.
Cons
Very difficult to integrate, weak support, hard to develop further.
A need for an administrator console to retrieve information in a columnar format that can be queried is missing.
It hits a limitation as full text indexes grow beyond the amount of available memory on the servers.
