I like the way I can manipulate all areas of the program to suit our personal needs. > > **Cons**: The change to version 12 from version 10 introduced auto panning by running the cursor to the edge of the screen. This is great, but in Version 10, the arrow keys moved the screen around very quickly and was more user friendly. In version 12, the arrow keys work, but they barely move the screen, so it's no longer useful. > > I have had great experiences with the edge, and since I own it personally, it's helped me gain employment wherever I go. ----- ### "Very solid estimating tool." — 4.0/5 > **Ryan** | *January 7, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to build assemblies is very versatile. > > **Cons**: Updating back and forth from the database for price and order formulas seems to fail often. > > Pretty decent program, constantly updating to improve overall. ----- ### "Great tool for estimating" — 5.0/5 > **Jose** | *July 29, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The easy way to build an estimate. For roofing it is really easy to adjust conditions to meet your project needs. > > **Cons**: In some cases it crash when working abroad. Due to language or regional configuration it crashes when working abroad. > > Overall good experience, it is really easy to adjust conditions at least in my case for roofing. Easy to review and adjust projects, the PDF viewer and page creationg can have some minor improvements. ----- ### "GREAT PRODUCT" — 4.0/5 > **Scott** | *November 5, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer support, accuracy, reports, being able to customize your own databases, groups \& conditions. Set up is pretty easy for our techs. The admin portal is also an excellent resource. They stay on top of bugs and issues. A great tool for bidding \& estimates. Security seems pretty tight too. As far as value for the money, it tends to lean towards the pricier side of estimating programs. I do feel it does give us an edge, though. > > **Cons**: I feel it can be a little too deep sometimes. A cut \& paste for the conditions from the take off screen tree would be extremely convenient. It also does not always start on the most recent condition that you edited. It will often begin the takeoff from the last condition that you used rather than the last condition that you edited. > > I really like working on the Edge. I feel it's accuracy and customization features for our scopes puts us a step higher than our competition. I would highly recommend this product for your estimating needs. ----- ### "Valuable Investment" — 5.0/5 > **Maris** | *January 8, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate the degree of detail that a roof project can be customized to. There is a deep library of options and behind-the-scenes tools to master estimates and generate proposals. > > **Cons**: Tools/functions are complex and challenging to navigate as a new user. All require external instructions and training, which can slow you down initially. > > Edge is unmatched in terms of capability and detail for roof estimation. Once time is invested in learning how to navigate the various tools, it can be incredibly productive. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/8668/the-edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/8668/the-edge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
