Windsurf Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Founding BackEnd Engineer4.0I've used Windsurf for several months and found it highly effective for boosting productivity through its AI coding capabilities, especially with Python. It's affordable, easy to set up, reliable, but lacks collaborative and advanced CLI features.
Principal Consultant at a outsourcing company with 1-10 employees4.5I've used Windsurf for a year in software development and found it integrates well, boosts productivity, and saves time, though I’d like better model discovery and restored browser integration; overall, it's been efficient and cost-effective.
Lead Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees3.5I've used Windsurf mainly for coding tasks and found it boosts productivity significantly, especially during short sprints. It's stable, scalable, and easy to onboard with, though I sometimes prefer Cursor for slightly more accurate code suggestions.
Manager, Production Services at a tech services company with 51-200 employees3.5I use Windsurf for software development, particularly API features, and it fits well into my daily workflow. It's stable, scalable, and offers a good alternative to other AI IDEs we've tried, like Cursor.
