Pros
Pro Helps grow your vocabulary quickly
Memrise uses "mems" to increase your vocabulary, which are a way to connect a word to its meaning.
A common example is associating a word with an image.
Mnemonics are another one they use to help you remember new words. For example,
"le parcours" (route or course) could be remembered with the mem "People who do parkour pick their own route".

There is no guarantee that the word you just learned is the correct spelling, because there are so many errors throughout many of the user-made courses.

I've found Memrise to be one of the better resources for learning phrases. The combination of pronunciation by native speakers and repetition of phrases makes speaking the common phrases feel natural in a very short period of time. It's also a great option if you want to learn the useful stuff quick...

For Italian and French - Memrise is far better than Duolingo. Neither has formal grammar lessons, but in Memrise you can pick it up organically through the long sentences with video and how the verb changes. I also supplement with online grammar resources.
