Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We adopted Cursor as a drop-in replacement for VSCode+GitHub Copilot. It's agent integration with code is far superior to VSCode or especially Visual Studio Professional. We have used Cursor to build skills to review PRs, create components, analyze our bug backlog to spot similar bugs or patterns or areas of tech debt, to interrogate Figma or Jira/Azure DevOps tickets for dev-readiness, to spin up AWS infrastructure, to evaluate logs, and so much more. Cursor is your best AI companion for software engineering.

Pros

  • Agentic coding
  • Code review
  • PRD generation
  • Ticket quality evaluation
  • Backlog analysis
  • Test coverage

Cons

  • Pricing

Return on Investment

  • Faster feature development
  • Lower SLAs for defects
  • Higher coding days
  • Lower churn

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Cursor as a development platform because it makes using AI very simple. Instead of changing CLIs all the time in order to get the tokens from each company, Cursor allows me to have one place with all the models, API keys, connections, and everything to make the workflow smoother.

Pros

  • LLM API Keys Management.
  • LLM Switch.
  • LLM session.

Cons

  • The Tiers for non corporate user.
  • The token management need improvement.
  • Auto-reduce the message sent in order to save tokens.

Return on Investment

  • Less stress changing CLI.
  • Less stress managing LLM API Keys.
  • More productivity thanks to having it all in one place.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cursor for code generation, both to access more of the model market and as a backup when Claude has outages. We use it across the full development team. Some of our team members also make extensive use of Cursor's CLI agent, though most use the IDE.

Pros

  • Very fast code indexing.
  • Multi agent experience.
  • Great proprietary models.

Cons

  • The CLI agent can be quite finicky via ACP.
  • It can be hard to understand how much different models will cost.
  • Support can be unresponsive.

Return on Investment

  • The best part is that when Claude has an outage, we can keep moving.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cursor to connect with our github repo for our project folders and code files and we work and implement project business requirement and write vibe coding and implement the features and functionaties of the project and do coding. Also we use Cursor for doing testing also and Cursor has multiple options now then VS Code.

Pros

  • Correct all our code
  • Correct all our feature and functionalities error in our code files
  • Helps for testing

Cons

  • For larger code context awareness should be improved
  • For larger code files think 360 degree and work
  • If token completed means while processing atleast complete that work don't incomplete and give.

Return on Investment

  • Mostly I have positive impact on Cursor only for implementing complex features and functionalities.
  • Cursor mainly save our development time testing time more than 50%.
  • Cursor helps to improve code quality of our all project folder and files.

Return on Investment

  • Software development time has decreased drastically
  • Fewer Software engineers for the same amount of output
  • Tokens are better used than in other harnesses
