Cursor Reviews & Product Details

I use Cursor on a daily basis as my best buddy. It helps me write code, create AI agents, debug issues, find the RCA, do POCs, and—most importantly—create documents for my team and org about the work I’m doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, when working with multiple agents, it uses too much memory. Apart from that, there’s nothing else to mention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is how seamlessly Cursor integrates into my coding workflow. Instead of switching between tools or constantly Googling things, I can ask Cursor directly inside the editor. It’s especially helpful when I’m working on repetitive code or trying to understand unfamiliar parts of a codebase. The inline suggestions and the ability to edit code using prompts feel very natural once you get used to them.

I also like that it shows the changes made across all files, so it’s easier to keep track of what’s been updated. It responds very quickly and generates code fast as well.

Setup is basically effortless: you just install it, log in with your account, and you’re good to go. Pricing seems mostly in line with other tools available.

Another plus is that I can run the application inside it, so I don’t have to open another IDE. I use it for my day-to-day coding and for generating my API documentation as it has the context of API's. It has become so easy to share API docs across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it overcomplicates things when, in reality, the solution is very simple. At times it touches the code even though we have asked it not to touch or update it.

It also tries to create generic code when it isn’t needed, and ends up adding many functions and extra logic around it. This makes the code reviewer’s responsibility more complex, because we have to thoroughly check the commits and ensure no unwanted changes go to production.

If it can better understand the question, and also understand the coding patterns and logic of the codebase, and then write code in a similar style, it would be very helpful. It should only use generic code or good coding patterns when we specifically ask for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to integrate code directly into my files when I prompt in chat, and to get a code review as well, really helps me. It lets me review the code myself instead of completely depending on AI to change my code and then having to look for the changes afterward. The UI is clean and structured and the agents like stripe and temporal helps with the context when I'm integrating 3rd party APIs or SDKs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tokens, compare to other dedicated models the tokens in cursor is getting used a lot and all the best models like opus will hit the limit pretty fast Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

being able to run multiple agents at the same time saves hours of work and money. mass file generation makes mundane programs better by allowing more time to focus on program purpose. never had to deal with customer support. integration into program dev made easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AI still struggles to tell when it should switch from ask to agent or plan modes. Circular reasoning and drift remain a big problem. The AI should be able to ask other AIs for peer review before giving answers to users. Also, the rules should be understood from near the beginning—for example, obeying tech manuals and industry standards when appropriate. multiple servers should be able to be worked on at the same time from the same agent window Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

İ really like Cursor's quota because, thanks to its own models and the agreements it has made with xai, the models hardly use up my plan's quota. i'm pleased with how well it uses the agent tools. i like the composer 2.5 model because it's really great and very affordable. it offers me a lot of productivity on a budget of around $20. i think the single monthly quota system is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the chat history reappearing annoying even after I've deleted them, and I think the code editor optimization is poor, it's even terrible. I constantly deal with deleting chats for no reason, and it slows down significantly when opening long folders, unlike Visual Studio Code which is really fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m able to accomplish tasks of varying complexity and still get excellent results. Most of my interactions with the agent are through the auto feature. I also use the Plan feature quite a bit, since it lets me steer the implementation before I kick it off. Beyond general product features and bug fixes, I’ve also had good luck using the agent to navigate ops work. Overall, it’s streamlined our ability to ship quality releases.

I haven't fully embraced the Agents view and tend to stick to the standard IDE view. This is primarily due to needing visibility to make corrections in the codebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Cursor for my daily work, and it’s a great tool for coding and product development. It supports many AI models, and the plan mode is amazing—it plans everything, and we can integrate pretty much everything. Around 90% of my code is written by Cursor, and it helps me build products quickly.

That said, the $20 plan drains quickly for APIs. In the beginning it felt good for $20 because it seemed like real unlimited usage was provided, but now it’s limited. Still, for using it with auto mode, it’s great. For complex tasks, we definitely need to use some good models from Claude.

Since it’s based on VS Code, the transition from VS Code is very smooth. Performance-wise, it works well if you have a good system; otherwise it can take too much memory and start to lag. On my MacBook Pro M2 it works well, but on my other MacBook Air M1 it can get laggy if I keep agents running and have two or more projects open.

Support has been good too. Once I needed to cancel my subscription, and they helped me with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The usage limit gets drained quickly for APIs, and for auto they’ve made it limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It understand your whole codebase context and builds things, even if the project was not started on cursor. Its autocomplete is really amazing sometimes I think it is reading my mind. The UI has 2 modes for non-technical and full-technical people, so if you are a total vibe coder you can use it too and its also usable for a senior SE. It integrates with all of your day to day coding related services through MCPs and plugins and handles them as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the models does not understand the codebase structure or design patterns. I have noticed multiple times it makes design decisions that does not make sense or be consistant with the rest of the codebase.

The pricing can be sometimes tricky. They have monthly packages but sometimes we go above the limits. Once we go above the limits we dont have a clear picture of how much of money is burnt, and sometimes ending up getting bills over 200 USD per month per account!! We only signed up for $20 plan and enabled auto recharge lol!

It takes a ton of memory and sometimes go unresponsive when I have some other apps open. At those points It becomes laggy and unresponsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Cursor is how naturally it integrates AI into the development workflow without getting in the way. The codebase awareness is impressive — it understands project structure, existing patterns, and context across files, which makes refactoring, debugging, and feature implementation much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Cursor is that AI suggestions can sometimes become inconsistent in larger or long-running projects. Occasionally it loses context between files or introduces changes that don’t fully match the existing architecture, so generated code still needs careful review.

Probably the coolest, best, and most satisfying software I have used my entire life. When I first started using Cursor, I felt young again, full of optimism, curiosity and a willingness to learn more. Without a doubt, my highest recommendation. This is my first-ever review on G2 and I couldn't be more pleased than to offer my first review for Cursor with a 10/10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I give a 10/10 without any dislikes about Cursor. It is simply that good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
