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. ----- ### "Great Program - Tons of custom features" — 5.0/5 > **Jake** | *9. Juni 2026* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 10.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: Adaptability/ customizability for my specific needs. Very powerful tool to be able to quickly make changes to existing bids and look at variety of options in existing bids. Customer Support has been awesome and typically very helpful. > > **Nachteile**: If the back end/database portion could be more user friendly and less "coding" that would be helpful. More modules on basic tasks and advanced tasks would be helpful when needed a quick reminder on how to do a task. i.e. it was very difficult finding info or someone who knew how to correctly create a soffit condition. > > We have had a great experience with the Edge. Learning about the change order option has been a game changer for tracking active project costs. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "The Estimating EDGE - For Roofers" — 5.0/5 > **Timothy** | *16. Juni 2026* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 10.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: The EDGE does a great job of meeting the needs of the roofing industry. Complexity in simplicity, you can easily create a complex assembly in a short amount of time. The user interface for entering information is intuitive. > > **Nachteile**: Some fields, such as the insulation tabs in a general roofing assembly, limit the quantity of layers/types of layers, requiring a workaround. > > Overall, I have used the EDGE for over 15 years, and I have not found a program that better suits the roofing industry and the needs of a roofing estimator. The implementation team members, the customer support, and the technical support are always there to provide the best service. ----- ### "Top Notch Estimating Software" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *20. Mai 2026* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 10.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: My favorite part of The Edge is that it is user friendly. The condition builder is fantastic with it's various tabs at the top to guide you thru building your assemblies. That gives me more confidence in putting my estimate together vs. building an assembly in what looks like an Excel spreadsheet as many other estimating software system do. > > **Nachteile**: That the AI take-off module is a separate software. Hopefully there will be some improvements with this technology in the upcoming years and eventually the AI take-off could be integrated into The Edge vs. having 2 software systems 'talk' to each other. > > It is my go to for assembling accurate and competitive bids. I've tried a few other estimating software systems over the years and in my opinion The Edge is at the top of the pack. ----- Seite: 1 / 15\ 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
