Advantages

• Admin can also do this integration configuration because only the configuration of two organizations is involved.
• No need for any apex code to do integration between two organizations.?
• With Salesforce to Salesforce, you can select which type of records you want to accept from a connected organization that shares them.?
• With the help of Salesforce to Salesforce, if you accept any of the parent records that have been forwarded from a connected organization, then any of the related or child records sent with it are automatically accepted.
