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. ----- ### "A Reliable Tool for Faster, More Accurate Estimating" — 5.0/5 > **Zaya** | *September 30, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy Edge Estimating is to use and how it makes creating estimates and takeoffs much faster. The software is organized, straightforward, and saves a lot of time when working on multiple projects. It’s especially helpful for keeping estimates accurate and professional. > > **Cons**: The learning curve can be a little challenging at first, especially when learning all the features and settings. Some functions could also be more intuitive and easier to find. > > Overall, my experience with Edge Estimating has been very positive. It has made estimating and takeoffs more efficient, helped save time, and made it easier to stay organized and accurate. Once you get familiar with the software, it becomes a very useful tool for managing projects and creating professional estimates. ----- ### "The Estimating Edge - Essential for Commercial Roofing" — 5.0/5 > **Joseph W** | *July 25, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Prebuilt roofing specific conditions for estimating all forms of commercial and residential roofing. > > **Cons**: The move away from perpetual licensing and to subscription pricing for users of The Estimating Edge. > > The software is solid and well thought out. The database that comes with it is robust and has multiple manufacturers included from day one. The technical support is second to no one and user requests are answered and implemented when appropriate. ----- ### "Best Commercial Roof Estimating Software" — 5.0/5 > **Marlin** | *March 6, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how we can build out standard roofing systems very quickly within the built-in conditions. It makes the complexity of commercial roofing feel very simple. > > **Cons**: If you are entering quantities instead of doing a takeoff on a blueprint, the process is not nearly as fast as it would be on an Excel spreadsheet. > > We love the software. For commercial roofing, it is far superior when compared to others, such as PlanSwift, Sage Estimating, Procore Estimating, or Excel spreadsheets. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ 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
