Redsmin vs Objectify: What are the differences?

Developers describe Redsmin as "All-in-one fully featured GUI for Redis". Redsmin is an all-in-one GUI for Redis, a tightly crafted developer oriented, online real-time monitoring and administration service for Redis. On the other hand, Objectify is detailed as "Java data access API specifically designed for the Google Cloud Datastore". It is a Java data access API specifically designed for the Google Cloud Datastore. It occupies a "middle ground"; easier to use and more transparent than JDO or JPA, but significantly more convenient than the low-level API libraries that Google provides. Objectify is designed to make novices immediately productive yet also expose the full power of the Datastore.

Redsmin and Objectify can be primarily classified as "Database" tools.

Some of the features offered by Redsmin are:

• Cross-platform, works everywhere inside a browser.
• Multiple database management with direct (plain text connection), direct (TLS/SSL connection) or proxied access for local instances behind a firewall.
• Batch operation over multiple key that match a pattern (delete, rename, duplicate)

On the other hand, Objectify provides the following key features:

• Lets you persist, retrieve, delete, and query your own typed objects
• Surfaces all native datastore features, including batch operations, queries, transactions, asynchronous operations, and partial indexes
• Provides type-safe key and query classes using Java generics

Objectify is an open source tool with 676 GitHub stars and 149 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Objectify's open source repository on GitHub.
