Cursor Reviews & Product Details

The interface and user experience are excellent.

It perfectly adapts to a developer's workflow.

I really liked being able to clearly see in the interface when the agent is editing the code, which allows me to monitor the changes accurately.

Also, something I'm still experimenting with, but I managed to connect my own MCP server with Cursor.

The implementation process was perfect because I was used to using Visual Studio Code as an IDE, so it was very quick and smooth to implement Cursor in my work as the main IDE and recommend it to the rest of the team I am in charge of.

I also really like the automations I achieve with the commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is still very expensive to use the LLM AI models that work best. And it's difficult to achieve a return on investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

cursor has been a huge time saver for my automation and API testing work. It helps me generate test scripts, debug failures, and add exception handling faster. AI understands project context well, making it easier to work across multiple files and large automation frameworks. I also like the clean UI and AI agent mode, which reduces manual effort on repetitive tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Cursor makes changes across multiple files that are not exactly what I intended, so I still need to carefully review the generated code afterward to make sure everything matches what I meant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Cursor as my primary AI-powered code editor for software development tasks, and I really appreciate how it helps with writing new code, debugging issues, understanding existing codebases, and more, especially for languages like Java, Spring Boot, JavaScript, React, SQL, and API development. The deep AI integration in the development environment is something I like a lot, as it understands the context of the entire codebase to provide relevant code suggestions, explanations, and debugging assistance, which boosts productivity. The chat interface is also a favorite feature because it makes it easy to ask questions, generate implementations, and refactor existing logic without constantly switching between different tools. Having this kind of integration directly in the editor saves a lot of time by generating boilerplate code, suggesting improvements, and providing troubleshooting assistance during debugging. I also find it valuable that everything is integrated into the code editor, allowing me to ask questions, generate code, review changes, and refine implementations without switching between documentation sites and search engines. This really streamlines the workflow, allowing me to focus on solving business problems and improving code quality. The seamless integration of AI-assisted capabilities makes daily development tasks much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Cursor is a powerful development tool, there are a few areas that could be improved. Occasionally, the AI may generate solutions that appear correct but require additional validation and testing before being used in production. For complex business logic or large-scale architectural decisions, manual review is still necessary to ensure accuracy and alignment with project requirements. Response quality can also vary depending on the complexity of the codebase and the context provided. In some cases, more precise understanding of project-specific conventions would help improve suggestions. Additionally, AI-generated responses can sometimes be slower when working with large repositories. Enhancements in performance, context awareness, and consistency of suggestions would make the overall experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiple model support with a user friendly GUI as well as the CLI option. The response speed is fast and lots of update everyday. Well worth the fee paid. We're using cursor not just an IDE, but also a critical module as part of our development workflow, which integrates the other MCP and agents. The AI chat and agent feature provides quite flexible configurations for any requirements. The support team also provides prompt response for any inquireis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seems to be resource demanding when running complex task that leverage high profile AI models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Subagents are working great for me. I use a lot of agent-based coding tools, and they haven’t been as successful as Cursor. On top of that, even the cheapest Cursor plan comes with generous limits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t dislike it, but I couldn’t get used to the new Cursor glass editor. As a senior developer, I still need to edit my code directly, and in the new editor we don’t have the same - or even similar - capabilities as the VS Code–based editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the different modes of Cursor, especially the Agent and Ask modes, very useful. The Ask mode provides particularly effective and specific feedback on my questions, which helps in solving various challenges. The Agent mode generates effective and reliable high-quality code that is professionally deployable. Also, the quality of the code remains good after any adjustments. Additionally, the initial installation of Cursor was a breeze. Cursor helps keep comments and txt files with relevant notes current and up-to-date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

a better understanding of the considerations made in Agent modes. I do see this briefly in the background, but it goes by so quickly that I can't follow it. This would further increase reliability for me and also help in writing better prompt instructions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Cursor helped me reduce the redundant work I used to do while coding. What really stands out for me is the way I can easily switch between models. I find the multiple agent window feature very useful, especially being able to select multiple data models within the same chat. This allows me to bifurcate my work and use AI optimally. Additionally, I appreciate that the multi-agent take flow is the main thing that makes it easy for me to move from VS Code to Cursor. The setup was also very easy, just downloading the file for my Mac and moving it to the application was simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes within a chat, when an error happens, it can be troublesome since it doesn't usually provide much detail on why the error occurred. A good retry mechanism or a more detailed explanation of why the error happened would be appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been a user of Cursor since September of last year and I frequently use it to code and develop various applications. Since the first day I discovered the tool, I have already created several resources that are transforming into software as a service. What impresses me the most is the fact that Cursor is a very intelligent tool and adapts to the complexity of the task. It can not only execute tasks but do them in an incredible way, combining both interface and complete solution, including a language-independent backend. My productivity has increased significantly since I started using Cursor, and I am much more productive. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. As soon as I run the installer, it already starts associating with the files I need to work on, which is very surprising. The first experience was surreal for me, as it read the entire project and made improvement suggestions. That really impressed me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, the Cursor couldn't execute certain tasks and got stuck in loops quite often, especially until March of this year. Additionally, I would like the token value to be a bit more affordable, as I use it a lot and the cost is a bit high. It would be very useful if there was integration with MCP and other Google Lab tools. Also, I would like the Cursor to connect natively with Stitch, as currently I need to adapt the code manually.

I feel like I'm talking to a group of highly experienced programmers and engineers that are available 24/7, improving my ideas and executing my vision for any type of software I want. For the price, I couldn't ask for more when it comes to executing my projects. Cursor ensures that the core steps are taken even when I lack experience, like committing and pushing changes, and it manages necessary connections for my app, like Supabase, Vercel, Resend, and Github. It's amazing how Cursor translates my ideas into actual code, allowing me to quickly view results in a dev environment. Initial setup was super easy, and I rate Cursor a 10 out of 10 in terms of recommending it to friends or colleagues, as I believe it can change lives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many LLMs I can use in the background in Cursor, like GPT, Claude, and others, and versions of each. I would like for Cursor to ask me questions and recommend I use a certain LLM based on the complexity of my needs, to maybe save money? Also, in Grok for example, I can great a new project and create the "tone" of the agent when building something. I can tell the bot to think "blue ocean strategy" and summarize what I'm asking for, and take a first principles approach to problem solving, and offer better alternatives to my ideas. I would like to be able to do this with each project in Cursor. And have more of a separate yet connected "bot" that is overseeing and helping in what I add to the terminal bot to actually do the work. Then we can debate and discuss prior to any work being done in an easier way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Awesome and very developer friendly. Love the predictive tab completion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Often responses lags and takes too long but not much to dislike yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
