Edx doesn't offer DBA/PHD and Coursea doesn't even offer doctorate degree. Then base on what everyone said in the fourm, UpGrad isn't a good platform to study with them

They have something similar. But I believe it's only at the graduate level. That is, there is a difference between a "masters" and a "masters degree" in Italy. It's a bit confusing because there isn't much written about it in English. And autotranslation doesn't usually tell the difference. You have to reference the original Italian to see what kind of degree (or "degree") is being discussed.
But doctoral level should be good, as far as I'm aware.

Another example, someone who wants it the cheapest, easiest, fastest, combo of ROI/Value and they're 'international'. With Pierpont BOG AAS now accepting international students, it can be done in 2-2.5 years from Associates to Doctorate - Pierpont BOG AAS, ENEB double masters evaluation as RA Bachelors & Grad Cert, OTHM Level 8 UK diploma, lastly ladder to US/UK DBA/DProf.I was thinking about doing the ENEB MBA. But too scare of the Titulo Propio things. So I end up doing a low ranking MBA.

With two master's degrees from ABC and XYZ, I believe I'm well-equipped at the graduate level. My intention to pursue a doctoral degree stems from a desire for personal achievement and to enhance my competitiveness in the job market. That's why I'm asking this question.
If you received a favorable evaluation with NACES for your Ph.D. or doctoral foreign degree. Do you believe your foreign Ph.D. or DBA carries the same weight as Ph.D. programs from low-ranking US universities? If it doesn't hold the same weight, I'll consider completing my MBA and conducting further research. Alternatively, I may explore starting the OTHM Diploma Level 8, though I haven't made a final decision yet.
Awesome, now we know the basics, we can begin deducing what may be better options, it's similar to asking a question - X different doors in a Castle with treasure, which would you take to lead you outside? People usually focus on one thing, getting outside. I, on the other hand, like to deduce things a bit further as maybe all of them lead outside but with different adventures due to various routes, traps, and treasures abound...
From the brief info you provided, you should have a solid (solid enough at least) background in undergrad and graduate studies at the Masters level. Going for a doctorate is great for personal and professional achievements that can be beneficial at all levels of furthering education, employment, and even emigration. As I mentioned earlier, it really does depend, especially the needs, wants, and cost, ease, speed, etc...
Even with a favorable evaluation, I would not go for a doctoral degree elsewhere since all your studies so far are from the US, either butt-in-seat or exclusively online, I would only recommend the Level 8 UK diploma, laddering to a US or UK institution instead of any other international doctorate that required an evaluation to be RA equivalent. Furthermore, FYI, US/UK are the top two nations for many things, including education.
Having a degree from the for-profits, or non-profit institutions you mentioned would be the options I would select from, these are RA. It doesn't matter if they're not top ranked, they serve the purpose of being a 'check the box doctorate' and is fully accredited. Lastly, probably most important as well...You don't need to explain why you have an international doctorate each and every time people ask. So, finish your Masters, do the Level 8 UK diploma, then apply to one of these you mentioned...
