The IDE automates almost all the regular activities for a developer. The developer can focus on the business logic and let Martini handle all the low-level plumbing effort like security, logging, documentation, transaction management.
The interface is intuitive and the documentation is also pretty clear. This helps the developer to hit the ground running.
Seamless integration for other 3rd party tools like G-suite apps(Gmail, Google sheets, Calendar), Slack, Github.
There is also an option for building reports using drag-n-drop. This significantly reduces effort to get a new report to production.
Functionality to run 'watcher' service which will trigger another service for an event like mail , message, file receipt.
All-in-all its a complete solution and a must have for developing any kind of business application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing to dislike as such but martini is a comprehensive solution and as such it may take sometime for the developer to be able to use it at its maximum potential. Having said that, once the developer is comfortable it will greatly speed up the development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a great tool that provides easy usage. Helps all developers which new and experienced who try to develop an API.
- Eclipse-like design which many developers are already using.
- Desktop version is free and easy to install.
- Step-to-step, understandable tutorials.
- The ability to develop the API in accordance with security policies.
- Over 1500 extensions available on Toro Marketplace, it's one of the best features.
- Large-scale features that you can use to create reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can recommend something rather than tell a feature I dislike. The Martini owner's (Toro Cloud) YouTube channel can publish more tutorials like last year about new features and different methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
-Cost and Installation: Martini is a free app to download. The installation was super easy and quick with the tutorial they provide at the beginning.
-Layout&Usage: Martini Desktop has a well-designed interface and it was developed on Eclipde IDE. Therefore, you can easily adopt if you are familiar with Eclipse interface. In addition, Martini also provides various themes which are not available in Eclipse.
-Services with no code & Drag and Drop: Martini allows users to create services that do not require code. Thanks to drag and drop method, I am also able to create endpoints. However, if you want to master the code, you can switch to the JSON format screen within just a click and go back again. This feature makes Martini distinctive from the other apps I have used so far.
-Visual reports: You can always generate great graphical charts for your API projects and see workflow progresses. It is very useful when you are showing your previous works to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I didn’t face any serious problems. However, some problems needs to be fixed.
When I first downloaded the program, I encountered with a cluttered screen which would have been off-putting if It wasn’t mentioned in the tutorial. They can also add more themes for customized use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I believe REST API creation, securing and documentation might be the best features for a Non-Java programmer like me. It provides a great developer documentation and quick start guide to get started easily even for a newbie. I believe even people with a little or no experience in programming can create HTTP services with the intuitive interface includes wizards, auto-complete, drag 'n' drop data mapper and a lot more features. Last but not least feature I would love to mention is the visual report builder, which came out of the box and gives provision to generate reports with formatting and graphs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There was some setup configuration difficulties came up while installing Martini runtime. But help documentation provides enough information to over come the situation. I wish installation process could be a bit easier without any issues even if a no-development experience person want to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Creating an API is very simple and intuitive with Martini's user interface. Everything from creating an API to publishing, documenting and reporting is built into this tool. All these steps in an API lifecyle are highly customizable with little code or no code, for example, the documentation can be automatically ported to an equivalent Swagger, OpenAPI or Postman representation without manual configuration. Really liked how securing an API using OAuth can be done with few clicks. The IDE is fast and sophisticated which is available for all the major OS platforms like Windows, Mac and Linux.The tool also provides an easy integration to hundreds of other applications like Dropbox,WordPress,Gmail, Shopify etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Initially the IDE and its features might look overwhelming but Martini has a good user guide and documentation that explains bits and pieces clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Impressive and easy to use graphical user interface , easy access to frequently used controls, automatic api generation ,in my opinion the best thing is that you can simple drag and drop to do majority of the operations including data mapping, no need to do complex coding we can simply follow wizards and dialogs to complete complex tasks with ease. Being a developer it is tough for me to do office work such as generating reports with formatting and graphs , with martini it is very easy . i must say a good product for developers.

Integrated Development Environment - Martini’s IDE is developed on Eclipse. If you are familiar with Eclipse, you can adapt quickly.
You should only focused frontend development, backend works are in the hands of Martini. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can use Martini with no programming needed, but you still need basic API knowledge.
Although there is a very nice Service Security feature, there is no Access Control for the application development interface.
We got Java Bean errors while installing on our Windows servers. However, we do not get such an error on Ubuntu servers. Unless there is a special need, we do not use it on Windows servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Martini is a great tool (low code platform) which helps even a non-technical person to quickly implement RESful API with few drag and drops and configurations in IDE. Another thing I like is that we can integrate it with thousands of other applications. There is no license to use Martini, free to download. API security is also very easily implemented, and it even includes oAuth2 Authorization.
First, I didn’t believe there is an easy way to create an API application with just drag and drop. So I decided to try Martini so that I can quickly make API backend for mobile apps. I was amazed by the level of features and App support it has. The documentation is also very helpful and easy to understand. It's a professional IDE with professional documentation available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As its new tool, it has a learning curve for most of the features. Good news is there is proper documentation
The graphic interface is a little bit overcrowded.
Memory consumption is high, but not an issue for a developer as we usually use heavy applications for development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With its amazing interface that i really liked, Martini is a professional Free IDE that helps creating services and APIs with just a little code or even without code. The Drag and Drop functionality make the development easier and faster. Like IntelliJ IDEA, Martini has the auto-complete feature that make the developer feel confortable and allow him to quickly get what he wants.
I also appreciate a lot of features related to API Development in Martini such as how we invoke an API (especially with the Http Client), how we document an API and how we can easily secure it.
The official documentation of Martini is amazing with well explained tutorials. I really liked the GIFs, they're so helpful in learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
nothing to dislike, Martini is a universe where there is always a feature to discover. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Martini is a great tool that you can quickly expose a RESTful API with few drag and drops and configurations in IDE. Internally it automatically generates the scripts Swagger, Postman etc. Even it has a build-in tool to try out the Swagger API (an alternative to browser based Swagger UI). Integrating some logic is few more clicks only. Even it supports integrating the services with other data sources like JMS, Databases etc as another set of APIs or endpoints. One of coolest items is the field mapper - you simply needs to draw links between parameters on one service on to another; and the internally mapping is automatically done. Each of these services or APIs can be simply started using the IDE similar to running a program or some code inside the IDE. Given that the IDE is based on Eclipse, anyone familiar with a standard IDE can quickly get used to it.
In addition to this, tracking and reporting is an in-build solution. Tracking all API calls within the system is a single line entry in the config and in-outs will be recorded under the hood. Report template builder is also a part of the IDE itself, so you not need to switch to another Report Designer IDE. Report builder can simply link the elements passed into the tracker and it is that simple.
In addition, the online documentation is really helpful to understand the concepts as well as in figuring out how to do some task. It is up to date and resourceful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When you are starting to figure out how to publish an API or integrate two sources, at first the IDE looks quite complex, and hard to figure out. However, as an when you get to know the core building blocks, this is completely resolved as all the flows are following a similar pattern. Also, I think the community must be improved further.

As a Mulesoft Developer I am impressed how powerful and customizable this integration tool can be.
- tool it self is most likely based from eclipse (free from any license issues)
- Experience using the tool is also very easy I was able to quickly create simple task from it in just less than 15 minutes e.g integrate to email or jms and expose services via http for clients to consume as REST
- gloop is very interesting, unlike mulesoft dataweave (which is a whole new language to learn) which focuses on transformation of data, Martini gloop is way more powerful and supports multiple popular scripting language , IMAGINE HOW MUCH YOU CAN SAVE WITH THAT if you can hire entry level but can be very effective to implement business.
- Almost no coding required! you can externalize complicated algorithm and reuse it again to another project.
- All of it is Free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a developer this is really nice but It would require me still have a lot of learning curve to learn the tool and get around it. It would be nice to just combine gloop and flux then put it to a palette. this way learning curve will be lessen.
There could be some complications for users at the start to learn how to work with it, but if you follow the guide you will get it all without extra efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Martini is a very successful API IDE. I was able to create an endpoint by dragging and dropping in a way that I have not encountered before in Back-End products. Software design was very complicated at first, but this is actually an IDE that has two shapes. I can work both on the source code side and on the design side, I can drag and drop. Although it was difficult to get used to this at first, I adapted in a short time. I am looking forward to developing my new products and projects with Martini.
Reporting the outputs with graphics such as chart and pie is very fun. They gathered the back-end system I created from many software products on a single product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The resolution of the monitor is low and the screen is 13" and the screen is always complicated for me in my work. Maybe it would be nice if there were adjustments to dock and the like. The design comes as a night mode, but I think it should offer day and night options in the first installation. It is annoying when downloading the desktop program to have more than 1GB. It probably takes up a lot of space on my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a back-end engineer, this platform has helped me save time when it comes to restful APIs implementation. here are my favorite features about Martini:
-Beautiful and easy to use UI.
-Creating a restful API couldn't be easier, it's really a time saver. what is usually require multiple files and hundreds lines of code is done with one service and an API file.
-Versatile tools for tracking and testing your API.
-OAuth 2.0 security is well integrated so you don't have to worry about any security issues.
-Mapping data is made simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much to dislike to be honest, you just need some time to get used to the variety of tools provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Martini application is well written and very user friendly. As backend developer I experienced difficulties in using drag and drop as most of the time I am writing them by hand or creating classes by myself. However, I would certainly advice beginners to use drag and drop option so they can set the program faster and have more time focusing on writing the complicated algorithms.
One of the most useful option according to me and my needs of course as developer is that you could test different methods or classes without starting the whole application or without writing any test cases, you should just set the needed variables and it’s started.
The advantage is that there is no need to install different Postman or Insomnia applications to test certain endpoint. Martini has its own Desktop’s HTTP Client for this intension. Furthermore, it has an option for documentation of API, something developers do not prefer.
It is interesting that beside JMS and ActiveMQ it provides KAFKA integration, helping you define Kafka listener, configuration for the listener and you can connect on KAFKA topic in a second. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At the beginning it was confusing to get around into Martini IDE even though it is quite like the other IDEs for that purpose. Mostly because they are many options for different domains. However, the web side has many good tutorials with pictures and videos which makes the process more easily to adapt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Martini gives you a really simple way to create API's. Tutorials shows the basics of API creation and good documentation helps to dive deeper.
Most of operations don't require coding unless you want to create something special. The platform makes it easy to create APIs, make publishing and documentation for it.
Also there is plenty of built-in tools for testing and checking of created API.
Nice features are database connections and OAuth2 security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would great to have more contrast icons. I tried to change theme, but wasn't succeed (on MacOS).
It also was difficult to navigate through controls at the beginning, but soon it becomes much easier, thanks to documentation for hotkeys) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I loved Martini is Desktop is free and its installation process was easy. On my profession , I develop backend apps and API's by manuel. After this product our developers don't need to spend huge amount of time for API production. After API details was completed it just showed me documentation. For our projects documentation part is the most importing thing for inheritance of the project. With some steps of creation API end-point and using extensions with them was really amazing.

When I installed Martini at first , UI was a little bit difficult for me. Normally I use a little bit easier IDE UI. But after with few clicks I was able to understand it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Martini is easy to download IDE which provides a set of tools to create APIs. You do not need to know how to create API. It redirects you to create API endpoint without effort. The basic tutorials give me the insight about API management. Drag-n-drop mapper shorts the time you need to create parameters for the service functions. After you completed the API endpoints, with just one click swagger documentation is ready to use. Each steps of API creation process has the autocomplete feature. So you can always be sure what you are going to add to the list. In the market there is premium apps for APIs . Martini is not among them. It is free to use. I think Security is the main part of an API. Securing an API has always been a problem. Martini makes the Security steps easy. With a few steps, you can implement Basic, OAuth 2.0 immediately.

In some parts of the Martini, the use flow little bit complicated. However, the great documentation and tutorial page helps you on that. So, there is no need to hustle to use Martini. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Great IDE makes creating and dealing with integrated applications and APIs very easy. It contains many features that make development easier. It helps you to build and consume APIs easily without writing any code, just some clicks and drag and drop. Also, It comes with great features that will help you to create, manage and secure your APIs very easily. The three features which I liked best are
1 - documentaion -> you write a description for your methods and the platform will generate the documentaion.
2- reports -> you can generate visual reports which describe your APIs.
3-Toro marketplace -> which helps you to consume many famous APIs, you just need to install what you want and then use it directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When I first installed the program, it took a long time to open for the first time but now it take less time. It's consuming a high amount of resources so you will need a good laptop or computer to work smoothly.
I didn't like the UI and hope more themes to be added.
Also, I don't like when you sleep or hibernate your machine you need to start Martini package again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
-Visualization. The best thing is it focuses visualization. Creating services, APIs, reports is very easily with visual items. I spent just a few minutes to creating RESTful API and documenting it.
-Data mapper: Every developer know writing code for data mapping is an annoying job. Martini solves this problem with very cool idea. You can map your data with a few clicks.
-Learning curve. It took some times to learn new IDE/platform/framework. Martini's interfaces makes it easy to learn. And also it has good tutorials and well written documents.
