As per my knowledge, I have not faced any issues with the product till now. Looking at the market today, I can say that the main competitor for SAP Master Data Governance is artificial intelligence. In SAP Master Data Governance, a user needs to select where a file should be uploaded or downloaded from in some of the cases in SAP Master Data Governance. It would be better to integrate artificial intelligence into SAP Master Data Governance so that a user does not need to track file locations. For example, be it files in formats like PDF, CSV, and XML, the artificial intelligence technology will help users pull the files automatically and help with the uploading or downloading part, which, in turn, will take less time. In general, I want artificial intelligence added to SAP Master Data Governance since I feel it is one of the areas where the solution has certain shortcomings.
