Which one is better PMP or ITIL?
Depends upon your experience, industry in which you are
working. Both Certifications had importance. Both can co-exist. We can't
compare ITIL with PMP, they both have different focus. Which certification to
pursue depends on what you want or need to do for your career.

other countries and your deliverables and work are about the products you
produce then PMP is better

credibility to your profile.
