Cursor Reviews & Product Details

Cursor's nailed the AI Development experience. My team has been able to spin up agents, products, and so many things that have helped reduce internal spend as well as increase our offerings to our customers. 1 Person with a paid subscription and a small budget can outperform entire software teams from the past.

The free platform is really good to get started but you don't realize how much better the paid ($20 / month) version is until you pay for it. I've built products off the free version and they were great. Once my team upgraded to the paid version, it literally 10x our output over the free version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cursor is amazing for coding! The AI autocomplete actualy understands context way better than other tools. Sometimes it writes whole functions that just work. My favortie feature is Cmd+K where you can highlight code and ask it to refactor stuff - so much faster than switching tabs. It can be slow when servers are busy tho and ocasionally suggests weird things but overall its a huge timesaver. Definitly worth trying if your a developer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The worst part is when the servers lag and everything slows down it completely kills my flow. Also, the AI sometimes hallucinates functions that don’t exist, so I have to double-check everything. The pricing is confusing with all the different tiers and limits, and memory usage can get pretty heavy too, especially on older machines. Still, I keep using it because, for me, the benefits outweigh these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it's Agent Window, where I just need to talk with the agent and do not need to worry about the code changes and just focus on the output. I also like it's model selection where it has auto mode, max mode, so based on the promp/work needed we can save the tokens. We can also set the global rules that will be applied on each prompt.

It has two different settings areas: one for Cursor-specific settings and another for VS Code settings. I feel like Cursor could merge these, or at least keep everything under the VS Code settings with an additional tab, instead of creating a separate settings section.

Also, Cursor should periodically incorporate the latest changes from VS Code, especially UI updates. There are a lot of useful UI improvements happening in VS Code, and sometimes Cursor feels behind.

Another issue is that sometimes I’m not able to find verified VS Code extensions. Since Cursor is fetching extensions from the open registry, it would help if there were some kind of verification in place. Maybe at the Cursor level, they could verify some popular publishers so it’s easier to trust what you’re installing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cursor is a powerful AI tool that integrates with our codebase and other tooling to handle internal operations, as well as analyze and write code. We use it daily across our teams for whatever comes our way, and the early results have been amazing with great productivity gains across the board.

It's not inly reserved to Engineering teams but for all, helping with starting PoCs, bug fixing, ways of working improvements, data analysis and so much more.

It also fits smoothly into our current stack, including Atlassian, Slack, and Miro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The desktop UI could have different layers, specially for non developers to become a more prompt like tool.

Also, having to setup a repo for doing our local queries is a bit too muc if we just want to use it for some simple prompts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cursor significantly improves developer productivity by tightly integrating AI directly into the code editor. Features like context-aware code suggestions, inline code generation, and the ability to ask questions about the existing codebase make debugging and development much faster. The fact that it understands project-wide context, not just single files, helps reduce repetitive work and speeds up complex coding tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Cursor is very powerful, it can occasionally produce inaccurate or overly confident suggestions, especially in complex or edge-case scenarios. There is also a learning curve to using AI effectively within the editor, and performance can sometimes be impacted on larger projects or lower-spec machines. More customization and control over AI behavior would further improve the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cursor's deepest strength is how intelligently it understands my entire codebase and gives very relevant suggestion similar to having a code review from a senior dev. With this IDE you can do pair-programming with an AI who has deep technical knowledge and already knows the project structure, dependencies, and patterns inside out.

The Composer feature for multi-file edits and refactoring is a game-changer; I can describe a feature in natural language and watch it generate or update code across files with a clean diff view I can accept/reject.

Tab completion often predicts entire logical blocks accurately, saving tons of boilerplate time.

I use it daily now and it's become my primary IDE because the AI feels deeply embedded rather than bolted on, making complex tasks like debugging, prototyping, or refactoring genuinely faster and more enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Cursor is incredibly powerful, it has some frustrating rough edges. The pricing feels steep at $20/month for Pro, with limits on premium model requests that can lead to surprise overage costs for heavy users. I sometimes hit caps faster than expected on big projects. Occasional bugs or slowdowns appear, especially on very large codebases where indexing/context can lag, and the UI sometimes feels cluttered with popups, AI buttons, and sidebars competing for attention.

Customer support is a weak point; responses can be slow or absent, and the community forums have complaints about unaddressed issues or even moderated criticism.

Some AI edits can be inconsistent or over-ambitious, requiring manual fixes and breaking my flow more than helping. Integration is great but it lacks some enterprise-grade team features like advanced governance or security guardrails. I still use it frequently because the pros outweigh these cons for me, but these pain points prevent it from feeling perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Composer is very efficient, and the UI is intuitive. It’s also super simple to set up. I use it every day for both work and personal projects, and it fits smoothly into my routine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of native GIT integration. It seems silly to have to pay for someting lie GitLens Pro to have proper GIT integration (more than Git Graph). I come from JetBrains and they have the best GIT integration I've seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Cursor is the way it seamlessly combines a robust code editor with smart AI assistance. It has an impressive ability to understand context, which allows it to help me write and refactor code more efficiently. Additionally, it explains complex logic in a clear manner and enhances my overall productivity, all without disrupting my development workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Cursor is that it can sometimes be too opinionated or over-suggest changes, which may interrupt my workflow. Occasionally, responses lack deeper project context, and performance can slow down on large codebases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI code generation is excellent and really helps save time on repetitive coding tasks. Its context-aware suggestions are noticeably smarter than what you get with standard autocomplete tools. Integration with GitHub is seamless, and it fits smoothly into my existing developer workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool helps cut down on boilerplate code, allowing for faster delivery of new features. It also offers smart explanations of code and useful suggestions for refactoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

many model to choose, plan mode and debug, work fine with linear, figma and notion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometime cursor got stuck indexing file even when my project source is not a large source base. and sometime it displays file changes from previous conversation which i have discard before Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
