I face multiple issues, but these are not due to a lack of functionality in the product but rather its inherent complexity. There is a lag while opening the console, which is a concern from my end. Additionally, the logs are not always clear, and sometimes, accessing the PowerCenter server becomes necessary to identify errors.
The UI experience is a little bit old. When applying more than 80 columns, it means doing it in phases, as it won't allow it in one go. So, this is an area of improvement.

Informatica has a data governance suite, and at the moment, there is no connection between the data governance elements, such as the data catalog, and the Informatica Test Data Management software. For example, the data discovery which is part of both solutions is two separate things. If you have a data discovery in the data catalog, then we cannot use it for Informatica Test Data Management purposes and vice versa. The same software vendor, has two different products, with the same functionality. There's was no need to separate things. This is something which was a problem in a use case of the customer where this was the reason why they didn't choose the Informatica solution.
