Typically the SAP certifications Ive seen were worthless, useless knowledge questions such as "which port does service X run on?". Then you have AWS certifications which are the complete opposite. The Solution Architect professional certification is probably the hardest thing I've done outside of university. They're a good indicator of deep understanding of the theory and some application of that technology.
In my experience it really depends on what a vendor wants to achieve with a certification. For some this means marketing, for others this actually means knowledge and experience.
