Do online Master's degrees hold any water?

We see that many reputed colleges/universities in India as well as abroad have come up with completely online versions of their Master's degrees for working professionals. It's also mentioned everywhere that we get the same diploma in the end as the offline degree. Do these degrees hold any value in today's world?
