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** | *19 May 2025* | Construction Software | 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** | *25 February 2026* | Construction Software | 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. ----- ### "GREAT PRODUCT" — 4.0/5 > **Scott** | *5 November 2025* | Construction Software | 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. ----- ### "The best estimating and project management tool for me." — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *9 December 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's thorough, adaptable, and can give me what I need. I've used the EDGE ever since \[sensitive content hidden\] started it. The support team is always there and always helpfull. \[sensitive content hidden\] has always been very supportive throughout the years. > > **Cons**: The snap to box is too small and hard to see on some plans. It would be nice if this was adjustable. > > I have been using The EDGE since \[sensitive content hidden\] first started it, back in the 70's. I used it at my two companies, later introduced to two other companies where I worked after I sold my company. I've since retired and came back and have now introduced it to the two new companies that I work with. \[sensitive content hidden\] has always been there for me and very helpful. The support team has always been available and very helpful. The EDGE has provided me with as accurate an estimate that one could produce, and also provides the means to purchase and manage a project with materials and labor, as long as the user takes the time to dial in his database and insert the correct information. Once that's done, it's a mandatory tool where I work. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/8668/the-edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/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
