Signando REST vs. webMethods
Focused API Security vs. Enterprise Integration Platform. Why a specialized security gateway is better than a monolithic integration platform.
Why Teams Switch to Signando REST
Complete OpenAPI Validation
webMethods API Gateway offers basic validation. Signando REST fully validates every request and response against your OpenAPI specification - including response checking.
Response Validation
webMethods focuses on incoming traffic and integration. Signando REST also validates all backend responses - protection against data exfiltration.
Modern Rust Architecture
webMethods is based on Java with high resource consumption. Signando REST is 100% Rust - memory safe, performant, minimal footprint.
Focus Instead of Feature Bloat
webMethods is a complex integration platform with ESB, MFT, B2B and more. Signando REST does one thing right: API security.
The Problem with webMethods as API Security Solution
Integration Over Security
webMethods is primarily an integration platform. API security is a byproduct, not the focus. Security features are often superficial.
Java Overhead
The Java-based architecture brings high resource consumption and GC pauses. Not optimal for latency-sensitive API security.
Complexity & Costs
webMethods requires specialized administrators and expensive licenses. The learning curve is steep, the TCO is high.
