"Powerful, Customizable, Fast API development and Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Martini?

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.

What do you dislike about Martini?

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 has been my saviour!"
5/5
What do you like best about Martini?

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.

What do you dislike about Martini?

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.

"This IDE took API management to the next level."
5/5
What do you like best about Martini?

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.

What do you dislike about Martini?

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.

"A lot of useful tools at one place"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Martini?

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.

What do you dislike about Martini?

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.

"Nice experience with the great tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Martini?

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.

What do you dislike about Martini?

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.

"Easy way of API generation"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Martini?

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.

What do you dislike about Martini?

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.

"Efortless APIs and Documentation"
5/5
What do you like best about Martini?

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.

What do you dislike about Martini?

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.

"A great IDE if you need fast development!"
5/5
What do you like best about Martini?

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.

What do you dislike about Martini?

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.

"An excellent and easy to use platform for development"
5/5
What do you like best about Martini?

-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.

-Almost no code: You can create APIs with almost no code. Martini also supports SOAP APIS.

-Built in Auth: You can secure your APIs with built in authorization mechanism.

-Reports: Creating reports for services takes just a number of clicks.

Other good thing: It's supports multiple databases.

And last but not least it's free and this is a good thing these days :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Martini?

I didn't faced any serious problems but there is some small issues.

Firstly install size. It's about 1 GB and If you don't have speed internet It takes some time to install.

And the second one: Martini has some really cool visual features but colors and themes. There is some themes out there but I don't think it's enough. If it can be more personalized it would be great.

And also there is some visual problems in dark mode. It's not to big problem but if it fixed it'll be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
