On the one hand, with Herbrand semantics, we no longer have many of the nice features of Tarskian semantics compactness, inferential completeness, and semidecidability.

An Introduction to Mathematical Logic
... Proof. We have already seen that A∗S is countable. Since TS , FS ⊆ A∗S , it follows that TS , FS are countable, too. v0 , v1 , v2 , . . . ∈ TS , thus TS is countably infinite. v0 ≡ v0 , v1 ≡ v1 , v2 ≡ v2 , . . . ∈ FS , therefore FS is countably infinite. Remark 4 Our definition of formulas is quite ...
