Juli 2025* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 10.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: The easy way to build an estimate. For roofing it is really easy to adjust conditions to meet your project needs. > > **Nachteile**: 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. Mai 2025* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 10.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: 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 > > **Nachteile**: 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. ----- ### "Tough to learn but once its set up its a smooth system" — 3.0/5 > **Alex** | *10. April 2017* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 7.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: The time saving aspects of the quantity take off's > > **Nachteile**: The initial set up time > > I am in my late twenty's and nowhere near a computer genius but also not computer illiterate and my experience with this system was it is super confusing to set up and learn but once the program is set up to how you usually take off projects it works nicely. This is not an out of the box system at all. If you are making a complete change from paper take off's and excel sheets like my company was it will take weeks and months to get this to work how you want. We have taken two trips, 1 week each, to their headquarters to have our database's set up along with countless hours and minutes of phone calls to their tech department. The owner who bought the program said that we should be able to figure out most of the database setup in house. I can tell you after going to in house training twice there is absolutely no way I would have known how to set this up. After 1 1/2 years of using the system I still find it confusing at times when you aren't doing simple jobs. We mainly use EDGE for Acoustical Ceiling take off's. That also seemed like the easiest to get set up. 99% of the time this works perfectly but there are some jobs that just doesn't seem to calculate right, in particular long hall ways and curves. We most recently had our databases set up for Fireproofing, EIFS, and DEFS. I have to say once the fireproofing is set up it is a complete life saver. The way the old estimator here would do fireproofing take off's was very mistake filled because the hundreds of factors to take into account i.e UL Codes, thicknesses, member sizes, etc. DEFS also works quite nicely but that is a fairly simple take off, square footage with your materials and labor associated with that square footage. We are still working a few bugs out of our EIFS take off's. They aren't quite where we want them on the labor side so I am constantly checking them with our existing excel formulas we have used for years. The people that work for the EDGE, in particular the training and tech support, are always more than willing to help out and are always friendly. My biggest gripe with the system is the difficulty of getting set up initially and also when you come across something unique getting it to work in the program. Once the leg work is done to get the system set up like you like the program really does run smooth. In the long run it is a giant time saver. For example a 50k sqft ACT job that used to take a whole day to take off on paper literally takes minutes. ----- ### "Powerful Estimating Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *25. Februar 2026* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 9.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: The EDGE makes takeoffs fast, accurate, and easy to manage. Its intuitive layout, powerful tools, and reliable performance greatly streamline my estimating workflow. > > **Nachteile**: 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* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 8.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: 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. > > **Nachteile**: 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. ----- Seite: 1 / 14\ Weiter: [Nächste Seite](https://www.capterra.ch/software/8668/the-edge?page=2) ## Links - [Auf Capterra anzeigen](https://www.capterra.ch/software/8668/the-edge) ## Diese Seite ist in den folgenden Sprachen verfügbar | Sprache | 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 | | ----- ## Strukturierte Daten
