We will shortly restore the ecommerse component that temporarily suspended after some trouble with ProMetric. When that happens registration for the exam will again be via major credit card using an online process. We hope you enjoy this period before we restore that component of new registrations. We continue to closely monitor online test behavior and the answer matrix as usual to ensure the security of the exam. Fortunately, the chief barrier to certification is a strong understanding of networks and network performance monitoring, rather than cost. A recent survey of SCPs also indicated that like with Cisco certification, passing the exam is the achievement.
You are correct that some vendors treat their certification programs like marketing tools with the goal of "rubber stamping" as many people as possible. For us however it's a significant achievement for any network engineer, which is also why many of the questions are not SolarWinds specific. The goal is to highlight network performance Gurus not just SolarWinds product experts.
