## Reviews

### "Best estimating software on the market" — 5.0/5

> **Brian** | *January 6, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I've used it for 14 years now, and there simply isn't a better software out there. 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.

-----

### "Honest Opinion" — 5.0/5

> **Christopher** | *May 19, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I enjoy the ability to be free of paper.  All the estimates are in one place and the reports you are able to print give me all the information I need
> 
> **Cons**: The fact that Firestone had been called Elevate for two years and an update wasn't pushed out to change the names.  Makes doing work for Elevate and having to change names times consuming
> 
> The software is top notch and very customizable.  They are always working on ways to update and make it better.

-----

### "Powerful Estimating Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Jonathan** | *February 25, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The EDGE makes takeoffs fast, accurate, and easy to manage. Its intuitive layout, powerful tools, and reliable performance greatly streamline my estimating workflow.
> 
> **Cons**: The learning curve can feel steep at first, and some advanced features take time to fully master, but once you understand the workflow it becomes much smoother.
