Cursor Enterprise scales coding across massive teams, but it’s still a general-purpose IDE. If you’re building internal business tools, it falls short. Pairing Cursor with Superblocks fills that gap by adding the governance and security controls for managing your tooling ecosystem. You can still customize your Superblocks apps in Cursor whenever needed.
In this article, we’ll cover:
- Cursor Enterprise features
- Pros and cons (according to users)
- How Superblocks and Cursor complement each other
What is Cursor Enterprise?
Cursor Enterprise is the enterprise version of Cursor, an AI-powered IDE designed for large engineering teams. It’s built on a fork of VS Code and integrates large language models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google directly into the development environment.
It comes with security and governance features such as enforced privacy mode, usage analytics, and SSO that enterprises rely on.
Cursor Enterprise features
According to Cursor, the Enterprise plan handles complex codebases with “tens of millions of lines and maintaining performance for thousands of devs.”
Let’s look at its main features:
Repo-aware autocomplete and code generation
Cursor’s autocomplete and chat features use your codebase to inform their suggestions. It semantically indexes your repository so the AI can reference any relevant file or symbol when generating code. The AI learns from team patterns, conventions, and architecture to ensure suggestions match your standards. Cursor enables this feature by default, but users can disable it in the settings.
Secure hosting and compliance controls
Cursor runs on SOC 2 Type II-compliant AWS infrastructure. With privacy mode on:
- Models don’t retain any of your code or chat prompts for training.
- Cursor only holds code in memory for the duration of an AI request.
The platform enforces privacy mode by default for enterprise users.
Note that Cursor doesn’t offer self-hosting. You can’t run it entirely within your own VPC.
Analytics dashboards to track usage
Enterprise admins get a dashboard with usage analytics. You can track metrics like the number of lines users accepted, the lines they deleted from AI suggestions, and the most-used models.
That said, Cursor provides limited audit and oversight features. It has a few built-in capabilities to monitor exactly what code or prompts developers are sending to the AI. There is also no built-in way to restrict which files or services a developer can ask the AI to access beyond the editor’s file permissions.
SSO, SCIM, and RBAC for access control
Cursor Enterprise includes Single Sign-On (SSO) integration via SAML/OIDC. You can integrate Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, etc., for centralized authentication. It also supports SCIM 2.0 provisioning for automatic synchronization of user accounts and groups from your identity provider.
Cursor supports three roles in a team:
- Members have full coding access
- Admins can manage the team settings
- Unpaid admins are a special non-coding role for IT or finance staff who just need admin controls
Admins can enforce organization-wide settings like:
- Requiring privacy mode for all
- Enabling/disabling certain AI models
- Setting usage limits
These controls help manage costs and compliance.
Cursor Enterprise pros (according to real users)
According to user feedback and reviews from sites such as Product Hunt, G2, Reddit, and personal blogs, these are the main pros of Cursor Enterprise:
- Deep codebase awareness: Cursor can understand an entire repo structure, enabling contextually relevant suggestions and accurate refactoring across large projects.
- Privacy mode keeps code local: On the Pro plan, users can toggle privacy mode, but on the Enterprise plan, it’s enforced org-wide, meaning no code is ever stored or trained on by Cursor or third parties.
- Enterprise traction: Cursor is gaining traction among major enterprises. Notably, internal Slack polling at Amazon showed over 60 interested developers favored Cursor over code editors like Windsurf.
- Centralized billing: Instead of every developer managing their own subscription, admins can handle billing centrally through a shared dashboard.
- Admin controls for governance: Enterprise admins can centrally manage IDE settings, control which extensions are allowed, and restrict login access by team ID. Policies can be deployed using standard enterprise tools like Group Policy on Windows or MDM profiles on macOS.
Cursor Enterprise cons (according to users)
On the flip side, users have reported several drawbacks or concerns with Cursor.
They include:
- Overzealous code changes that introduce hidden bugs: Cursor’s agent mode can generate large, multi-file code edits, which are hard to review line by line. Users complained that it might suddenly change code or delete it entirely. You have to check what it broke, which is hard if the commits don’t reflect the edits.
- Stability and scale issues on large codebases: Some users found that Cursor struggles with very large or complex repos. It can crash or slow down when indexing huge monorepos or when agent mode attempts a complex task across the codebase.
- Limited oversight: Cursor Enterprise doesn’t support a detailed audit log of AI activities. Nothing stops a dev from using Cursor with a personal account on corporate code, aside from policy.
- No Linux policy management: Enterprise configuration profiles are supported on Windows and macOS, but Linux support isn’t on the roadmap.
Cursor Enterprise pricing
Like most enterprise offerings, Cursor Enterprise plans are tailored to each organization rather than priced publicly. The Team plan, which introduces access and security features like privacy mode and SSO, starts at $40 per user/month. Enterprise builds on that by adding SCIM provisioning, priority support, and a dedicated account manager.

What developers are saying
The general sentiment across developer forums like r/AIMadeSimple and r/CursorAI is that Cursor Enterprise is powerful, but you need to review its work diligently.
A Gitpod blog by their Field CTO highlights the operational risk of deploying Cursor without controls. Since code is streamed to cloud-based models, enterprise teams should enforce privacy mode, restrict what leaves their network, and consider sandboxing AI work in ephemeral environments. Without these safeguards, there’s a real risk of leaking code or credentials.
That said, many developers still love the speed Cursor enables. But for enterprise teams working on secure systems, the most effective approach is to treat Cursor like an intelligent tool. Assign it scoped tasks, validate everything, and use it to augment human expertise, not replace it.
Cursor Enterprise vs. Superblocks: How do they complement each other?
Cursor Enterprise is a dev-centric tool for improving coding productivity in your IDE. Superblocks is an AI internal app development platform that helps enterprises solve shadow IT and engineering bottlenecks with a secure, centrally-governed platform.
Superblocks gives enterprises three ways to build internal apps:
- AI app gen: Quickly bootstrap an app using natural language prompts.
- Visual builder: Assemble UI and workflows with the drag-and-drop editor.
- Code: Edit your app in your preferred IDE
One of these IDEs is Cursor. When editing your app in the Superblocks visual editor, you can click a button to open the project in Cursor. This also launches a local development server that serves the app to both the Superblocks visual editor in your browser and your local project. The 2-way sync between visual editing & code means you don't lose context when you switch modes. Superblocks also provides Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code rules for AI to maximize accuracy.
You can:
- Start in Superblocks: Generate or visually assemble an internal app.
- Extend in code: Export to React, open in your IDE (e.g., Cursor), and add logic with AI-assisted productivity.
- Return to Superblocks: Deploy, secure, and govern the app through enterprise-grade controls.
Here’s a side-by-side look at key features of Cursor and Superblocks for enterprise use:
Superblocks is ideal for building secure and governed production-grade internal software. Cursor is one of the IDEs for customizing Superblocks apps with code.
Final thoughts: Is Cursor Enterprise good for teams?
Cursor Enterprise is good for teams that need an AI-powered IDE to scale productivity across large codebases. The Enterprise plan supports enforced privacy mode, usage analytics, SSO, SCIM, and gives admins control over IDE settings.
However, Cursor, on its own, is not a good option for teams that are building internal tooling. For this use case, complement it with Superblocks. It’s designed to solve the complexity, risk, and management overhead that comes with building enterprise-grade internal tools. You can start building in Superblocks and then customize in Cursor for finer code edits.
How Superblocks helps enterprise dev teams ship secure AI apps
Superblocks gives enterprise teams a secure, governed platform to build internal apps. It embeds security and compliance into every layer of the dev process, so developers and business users can move fast, while IT stays in control.
Here's how it enables teams to ship secure AI applications:
- Flexible development modalities: They can use Clark to generate apps from prompts, the WYSIWYG drag-and-drop editor, or code. Changes you make in code and the visual editor stay in sync.
- Context-aware AI app generation: Every app built with Clark abides by organizational standards for data security, permissions, and compliance. This addresses the major LLM risks of ungoverned shadow AI app generation.
- Centrally managed governance layer: It supports granular access controls with RBAC, SSO, and audit logs, all centrally governed from a single pane of glass across all users. It also integrates with secret managers for safe credentials management.
- Keep data on prem: It has an on-prem agent you can deploy within your VPC to keep sensitive data in-network.
- Extensive integrations: It can integrate with any API or databases. These integrations include your SDLC processes, like Git workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
- AI app generation guardrails: You can customize prompts and set LLMs to follow your design systems and best practices. This supports secure and governed vibe coding.
- Forward-deployed engineering support: Superblocks offers forward-deployed engineers who’ll guide you through implementation. This speeds up time to first value and reduces workload for your internal platform team.
Superblocks is built for teams that want to ship AI-powered internal tools fast without losing control over security, architecture, or governance.
