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 Program - Tons of custom features" — 5.0/5 > **Jake** | *June 9, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adaptability/ customizability for my specific needs. Very powerful tool to be able to quickly make changes to existing bids and look at variety of options in existing bids. Customer Support has been awesome and typically very helpful. > > **Cons**: If the back end/database portion could be more user friendly and less "coding" that would be helpful. More modules on basic tasks and advanced tasks would be helpful when needed a quick reminder on how to do a task. i.e. it was very difficult finding info or someone who knew how to correctly create a soffit condition. > > We have had a great experience with the Edge. Learning about the change order option has been a game changer for tracking active project costs. ----- ### "The Estimating EDGE - For Roofers" — 5.0/5 > **Timothy** | *June 16, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The EDGE does a great job of meeting the needs of the roofing industry. Complexity in simplicity, you can easily create a complex assembly in a short amount of time. The user interface for entering information is intuitive. > > **Cons**: Some fields, such as the insulation tabs in a general roofing assembly, limit the quantity of layers/types of layers, requiring a workaround. > > Overall, I have used the EDGE for over 15 years, and I have not found a program that better suits the roofing industry and the needs of a roofing estimator. The implementation team members, the customer support, and the technical support are always there to provide the best service. ----- 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
