I'll agree in theory but to play devil's advocate:

* I did the VCP4 and 5 courses. It's entirely a sales certification. I mean it's a technical certification, but I've never run into anyone who certified for the purpose of running an organisation's tech. Rather, you certify for the purpose of your company being able to sell the product. Note also much of VMware's training focus lately has been on things outside their main virtualisation, like Horizon or their MDM product. * Accurate. But I don't think it'll be far off. * Proxmox does Ceph out of the box. I'll also add that it's very easy to manage, unlike vSAN. I'll further add that none of the VMware training and certifications I've ever done covered vSAN, all the courses assume someone bought a SAN. * All the "hybrid cloud" pushed at least by Microsoft completely assumes you're in Hyper-V and is irrelevant to VMware * I've consulted to an awful lot of VMware organisations and I've never seen servicenow integration in place. I'm sure it's relevant for some peopel.

Their MDM product was airwatch which was pretty amazing until VMware bought it and stopped developing core features in favour of cruft nobody wanted like vdi integration.

Now airwatch is surpassed even by Intune.
