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. ----- ### "Overall Program is very good." — 5.0/5 > **Anthony** | *November 12, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use once familiar with the program. Thought it took some time to learn. And I am still learning as I go. > > **Cons**: Longish learning curve to learn the nuances of the program. The time it takes to learn new facets of the program. > > Overall, the program is very good. I know there are move features that I can utilize but I don't have the time to learn and use them. ----- ### "PASS THE EDGE & TO THE TOP" — 5.0/5 > **Jade** | *April 16, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about EDGE is that you can practically build everything you need from one section detail in ONE condition, rather than creating multiple. It saves a lot of time when the jobs are massive, and you are bidding more than one job. > > **Cons**: What I least like is the security and licensing of EDGE. Security makes it hard to long on anywhere I am. Licensing makes it hard for multiple estimators to be on one job. > > I love EDGE and will always recommend to my fellow estimators. 10/10 .
