Easy to track where equipment is. Quick to make packing lists for custom purposes. > > **Cons**: The display fuzziness took a long time to fix and was very straining on the eyes. Sometimes with a long list of equipment, the system can significantly slow down. I also feel the handling of “missing equipment” (seeing equipment that has not been scanned in to a particular project when some of it has been returned) could be a bit more easier to access. Also, there has to be a simpler way to find the total database of equipment, according to FW in a particular country, quickly. ----- ### "There is no going back." — 5.0/5 > **Nicki** | *5 November 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Looks daunting but very simple to use. CallaCrew is a film crewing agency and we work on a lot of feature films in the UAE and handle payrolls. Often having up to 150 objects in one job bag, and each job bag containing different Activities, each containing the same 150 objects. Each job bag is invoiced on a weekly basis, so the Repeat function when creating a new job bag for the following week is brilliant. I also love the invoicing manager - takes the stress away from having to double check who owes what and when. Customer support is amazing and nothing phases them, even dumb questions\! When a tweak had to be made to our programme, this was handled in the most professional way and the training videos provided to navigate around the use of the tweak were incredible. > > **Cons**: There is absolutely nothing that I do not like about Farmers Wife. Errors made are always due to human input and easily picked up. > > Overall experience is BRILLIANT. Even though I know that I do not use the programme to its full potential. ----- ### "Pros and cons with my complex friend." — 3.0/5 > **Mikael** | *29 September 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tracking, budgeting and general depth of the product. It can literly do anything you want and need. Cirkus\! > > **Cons**: User interface... Its so counter intuitive. It feels like its built by programmers for programmers more than the making it easy to understand. The amount of time it takes to understand it is throught the roof. I wish you would have two modes, one expert-complex mode and one just what you need daily mode where you can hide all the nitty gritty stuff. > > Rocky ride... It's kind of a love and hate relationship. You have to get to know how its built. The user inteface seems like its stuck in the 90s ----- ### "Incredibly scalable and comprehensive scheduling, quoting, invoicing and asset management software" — 5.0/5 > **Tom** | *10 November 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Extremely customisable, quick to learn and very scalable for your scheduling, quoting, invoicing and asset management. Farmerswife is extremely well thought out and comprehensive in what it can achieve for your business - both in terms of time saved and ROI. > > **Cons**: Because it's so flexible, it does require a bit of forethought and can require large amount of design and development time to get it just right for your business. > > Our business has used FarmersWife for over twenty years and their customer support and scalability are incredible. ----- ### "Farmerswife is a great resource scheduling product." — 5.0/5 > **Ralph** | *11 November 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The resource scheduling timeline experience, the cloud based hosting, the speed, convenience of maintenance and updates, the performance of the API > > **Cons**: There are perhaps still some minor missing features, however that would honestly be rather nitpicking. > > The transition to farmerswife has been a very positive experience. The assistance by support was great. The seamless and quick updates provided by farmerswife have exceeded our expectations and ensured that we are always up to date with the latest version. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/269869/farmerswife?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/269869/farmerswife) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
