I found out about Warframe after playing DarkSector and hearing that the two were related. The reviews seem generally positive with the exception of one massive negative spike.

Is there much in the way of grinding and micro transactions?

The game is incredibly grindy, as other have said, but honestly I'd argue that's kind of the point of the game. It's kind of made for the grind, you're always farming for some new thing or trying to get the perfect build for your Warframe, it's just how it is.

What is kind of cool on the micro transaction side is that people can trade the premium currency. So there are a lot of things you can't just buy from the in game store with platinum, but people can farm for it and trade it. So you can farm for desirable blueprints and parts and such and then sell them to other players for premium currency. It's a very cool system, I think.
