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 | 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. ----- ### "Great Product\!" — 5.0/5 > **Heather** | *16 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great customer support\! Great demo call learning all about it. My estimator liked the process we look forward to implementing it in the future. > > **Cons**: Nothing so far we haven't had a chance to implement this into foundations, but look forward to it soon. > > Just did a video intro seems to be amazingly helpful\! My estimator and PM seemed to really think its a great value add. ----- ### "Estimating Software That Adds Up" — 5.0/5 > **Brandon** | *22 April 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to "twist the arm", as \[sensitive content hidden\] calls it, to figure different components. > > **Cons**: The complexity of the database and trying to navigate through that aspect of the software. (Seldomly Necessary) > > Overall, highly satisfied. Customer service is always exceptional when needed and conditions are user friendly. ----- ### "GREAT PRODUCT" — 4.0/5 > **Scott** | *5 November 2025* | Construction | 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. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/8668/the-edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/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
