Do hiring managers in IT value technical certifications?
- Does it get you in the door? (Or get you rejected?)
- Does it help vs. other less qualified candidates? (Or hurt.)
- Does it help vs. other similarly qualified candidates? (Or hurt.)
Do the answers above depend on
- The subfield of "IT" (e.g., sysadmin, ops, devops, programming)?
- Previous/other experience of candidate?
N.B.: This answer is not looking for opinions - not just because we don't look for opinions here but mainly because I've got my own opinions on it but have never been able to validate them. (I've never been I hiring manager, and I've only ever been a programmer at companies mainly in the software development sector.) I'm looking for a hiring manager to say "yes, in my industry of manufacturing operations we always look for networking certifications" or "no, top companies in the banking sector never look at certifications and here's a Gartner report discussing that ...".

I don't see how they could hurt your chances, or get you rejected. That would make no sense.

@joeqwerty - there are other answers in this stack, also elsewhere on the web - that suggest that at least some hiring managers denigrate certifications - and their holders. I don't know why, but that is anecdotal evidence that it can happen.

Do hiring managers in IT value technical certifications?
Some hiring manager in some companies value some certifications for some positions. How could it possibly be otherwise?
Does it get you in the door? (Or get you rejected?)
Read the job description. For some jobs, it can help get you in the door. I've never seen a case where it would get you rejected.
Does it help vs. other less qualified candidates? (Or hurt.)
Does it help vs. other similarly qualified candidates? (Or hurt.)
Sometimes it would help. Other times it wouldn't matter. I've not seen where it would hurt.
Do the answers above depend on The subfield of "IT" (e.g., sysadmin,
ops, devops, programming)?
Yes. Certainly some subfields value some certifications more than others.
Do the answers above depend on Previous/other experience of candidate?
Yes. With enough experience, certifications have far less value.
