Opposite and vice versa

I want to write the following.
"There are two ways to address the problem. (a) using ABC algorithm whose advantage is that it is less time consuming and disadvantage is that it provides inaccurate solution. (b) using XYZ algorithm whose advantage is it provides accurate solution and the disadvantage is that it is time consuming."

Since, negation of the advantage of one algorithm is disadvantage of the other, and the negation of the disadvantage of one algorithm is advantage of the other. Can I still use "vice versa"?

There are two methods of addressing the problem. The first uses the ABC algorithm and has the advantage of being less time consuming. However, its disadvantage is that it may provide an inaccurate solution. The second uses the XYZ algorithm and has the advantage of providing an accurate solution, but it is more time intensive.

Surely, you came up with a simpler way. You are right, I have not concluded the reasoning, I just wanted to mention a situation and to know the right way of using "vice versa".

I want to know that if opposite/negation of one's advantage is the disadvantage of the other's, then can we still use "vice versa"? For example, the first algorithm is less time consuming, which is an advantage,

Asif Araincan we still use "vice versa"?
Can you provide the exact sentence in which you propose to use "vice versa"?

"This can be addressed in the following ways:

(a) Applying a statistical approach on the outcomes of the experiments for sensing geometries and to conclude the suitable (possibly narrow) range of the weight that a user can select based on the environment.
Advantage: It requires less effort.
Disadvantage: The overall sensor planning solution is not fully automatized for the user.

Asif ArainAdvantage/disadvantage: Vice versa."
For me, that doesn't work very well.

OK. So, what do you suggest?

Asif ArainOK. So, what do you suggest?
Write the advantages and disadvantages in full.

(By the way, although "automize" does appear in at least one dictionary, to me it looks like an error for "automate".)
