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** | *6 March 2026* | Construction software | 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. ----- ### "Great tool for the team\!" — 4.0/5 > **Raegan** | *28 July 2026* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Estimating Edge program provides an efficient, organized platform for creating accurate roofing estimates while improving consistency across our team. We like how it streamlines takeoffs, manages material and labor costs, and helps reduce manual calculations that can lead to errors. The integration of assemblies, pricing, and reporting saves time and increases confidence in our bids. Its professional proposal capabilities also make it easier to present estimates to customers in a clear and polished format. Overall, Estimating Edge improves estimating speed, accuracy, and collaboration, helping us produce competitive bids while maintaining consistency and supporting better project planning. > > **Cons**: One of our biggest concerns is that the account maintenance fees are billed on a different schedule than the annual subscription renewal. Having separate billing cycles makes it harder to budget, track expenses, and manage invoices. It would be much easier if all fees were combined into one annual renewal. This would simplify accounting, reduce confusion, and provide a better overall customer experience. Aligning the billing cycles would make costs more predictable and eliminate the need to manage multiple renewal dates. We believe this small change would make the billing process much more convenient for customers. > > Overall, our team has had a very positive experience using The EDGE estimating program. It has helped improve the speed and accuracy of our estimating process while providing a consistent platform for our entire team. The software is user-friendly, reliable, and makes it easy to create professional estimates and proposals. Features like digital takeoffs, material calculations, and reporting have increased our efficiency and reduced manual work. The EDGE has become an important part of our estimating workflow, helping us produce accurate bids, collaborate more effectively, and better serve our customers. We value the program and appreciate the improvements it has brought to our daily operations. ----- ### "Save time and money" — 5.0/5 > **Adrian** | *11 May 2026* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It made my estimating a lot faster and more accurate. I used to spend 2-3 days solely out of the week to focus on take offs and estimates and now I’ve cut to the one whole day. Given me free time to be more on field and manage my projects more efficiently. > > **Cons**: The learning edge to it. It is a less user friendly software in my opinion but once you get it down. It makes your life a while easier > > 10/10 would recommend to any one looking for a new software as a roofer. It has proven to me that this is a key tool to our business and. ----- ### "Overall Program is very good." — 5.0/5 > **Anthony** | *12 November 2025* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use once familiar with the program. Thought it took some time to learn. And I am still learning as I go. > > **Cons**: Longish learning curve to learn the nuances of the program. The time it takes to learn new facets of the program. > > Overall, the program is very good. I know there are move features that I can utilize but I don't have the time to learn and use them. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/8668/the-edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/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
