    Extremely vague question that can't be answered. What do you want? What do you need them for?

    Different circumstances benefit from different certs.
    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    I have no idea what your goal is but will tell you that one of those is a pure joke. See if you can guess which.

    The best depend on what you want the certificate for, if you are an IT auditor CISA may be best, etc

    Realize that the CEH is a "Hacking+" cert and isn't close to the other three. You are comparing an 8th grade diploma to three Masters degrees.

    CISSP. Sorry, I just... yeah. Anyway, I hear CEH v8 is actually better than previous versions, any truth to it?

    CISSP? The cert that turns you into a "Hey, this should be looked at but well, I can't fix it but someone should" Engineer? lol

    Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
    middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
    traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it?

    It's a good thing the CISSP isn't meant for engineers then.

    Aside from CISSP, I still see a lot of CEH in job listings. HR departments and recruiters must eat it up. I also see "Security+ or CISSP preferred." Ha, they're slightly different.
    In progress: MTA: Database Fundamentals (98-364)
    Next up: CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) or LPI Linux Essentials (010-160)
    Earned: CompTIA A+, Net+, Sec+, Server+, Proj+

    I'd rate it more like:
    CEH - GED
    Not really something to be proud of but better then nothing.

    CISSP - Bachelor's degree in General Studies
    Doesn't really prove competency in anything, but proves you can comprehend general concepts.

    CISA - Bachelor's degree in Accounting
    You know how to run the books. You know how to do the paperwork and maybe understand some of the tools.

    CISM - Bachelor's degree in Business Management
    You can manage people. You may not understand what their doing sometimes, but you know generally what they should do.

    So, basically if you have none of those (and in security related field) - high school dropout with no GED? :D:D j/k j/k
