What do you like best about HeyGen?

I can create hundreds of videos without physically being present or devoting my time to content creation. With this tool, I have now taken control of my time and increased my productivity more than ever.

What I liked most about this tool is that it has a verification system before it allows you to create your avatar. This means my privacy cannot be risked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyGen?

I have yet to explore this tool's disadvantages. I will share my findings once I have them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HeyGen solving and how is that benefiting you?

Heygen allows to create avatar for us that will create videos on my behalf even if I physically not available to shoot them. It allowed me to share my thoughts and opinions with this world without physically being present everytime for shooting which took a lot of my time. Now I can save that time and focus on my business and productive work like reading, networking, etc. Thanks to the HeyGen Team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HeyGen?

HeyGen has been a lifesaver in creating my avatar and developing lessons for my students.

It keeps them engaged, and the best part is that it takes almost no time to produce high-quality content.

If I had to record the class myself, it would take me at least a week to complete.

With HeyGen, I can have a fully prepared lesson in less than two hours. It’s an incredible tool that has transformed how I teach and communicate with my students! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyGen?

Honestly, the price. Consider how much money you must spend on each subscription to create quality content. An AI copilot, chatbot, and /or guide are needed to make the user experience more pleasant.

Also, the speed to render the final product or video. It does take a long time. I am comparing HeyGen with Synthesia, Invideo, and Pixverseai. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HeyGen?

I discovered Higen only recently through some friends who suggested I try it and I actually found some features that I didn't find in other sites specialized in artificial intelligence tools. In Higen you have the independence to create and modify with ready-made templates in any field you want. Almost all the tools are available from writing scripts to creating videos, etc. The only problem with the platform is that the free version is limited in creation, but it has all the features we need. I really thank Higen for this unique innovation and we look forward to more updates and additions with you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Similar to video editing, which has become easy with Higen without expensive programs. Video translation into other languages ​​has also become available and with high quality in output. It has become possible to output the video in more than one language and expand the scope of actual viewing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HeyGen?

I have used 3 different services for video translation and dubbing for about a year. And only HeyGen does high-quality translation, dubbing and lip syncing.

I would give the following ratings for video translation:

Lip sync - 9/10

Text translation - 8/10

Dubbing - 8/10

At the current stage of development (early 2025) this is the best service for video translation and dubbing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyGen?

I would like to highlight 2 of the disadvantages:

Price – heygen is expensive, of all 3 services heygen is more expensive than other competitors combined.

Limit of minutes – with a paid tariff of $30/month, they only give 5 minutes to translate a video.

Just imagine, you need to cut a 30-minute video into 6 parts, translate them separately, and then merge them together. Because of this, I want to be sad, I hope one day in the bright future heygen will become kinder and increase the limits, at least to 15 minutes for translating a video.

What problems is HeyGen solving and how is that benefiting you?

My main goal is to communicate with the audience on YouTube in languages I can't speak, and HeyGen solves my task 100%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HeyGen?

I have been using HeyGen, and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed with the platform. The ability to create virtual avatars so quickly and effortlessly is truly outstanding. The customization process is incredibly straightforward, allowing me to adjust parameters with ease.

One of my favorite features is the ability to generate avatars directly from text, complete with voice synthesis. Additionally, the option to upload audio tracks for enhanced results takes the experience to another level.

Overall, HeyGen stands out for its speed, precision, and user-friendly design. It’s a fantastic tool that I highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyGen?

I am completely satisfied with the HeyGen service. What I especially like is that the platform consistently delivers high-quality results. While there are occasional cases where the avatar might look overly artificial or the lip-sync slightly lags behind the speech, these instances are extremely rare and do not detract from the overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HeyGen solving and how is that benefiting you?

HeyGen provides me with incredible speed in content generation, saving me a significant amount of time. It also helps me create high-quality educational materials, making the preparation process much simpler and more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HeyGen?

It is possible to create a video of yourself by cloning your own face from an existing video & allow HeyGen to replicate the image in extreme detail, embedding facial expressions, posture & body movements so accurately that people who know you would swear that it was really you speaking. The lip syncronisation with spoken words is almost uncanny!

Just remember: The quality of the output is reliant on the quality of the input. If you keep making frowns and raising your eyebrows in your video sample, then that is how the 'avatar' clone of you will behave. Enunciate your words clearly to ensure that the mouth of the avatar clone moves exactly as your mouth moves & cover all regular vowel sounds for added acccuracy. The time taken to generate the final product is not long, so you are not left waiting for ages, like with some other systems.

The system is easy to use without needing total mastery of all aspects of it. For this reason, you can be up & running in no time at all. For very best results with a quick start, take a look at the video demonstration.

It is possible to use the text to speech function of to upload audio that you have already recorded for the HeyGen to create a video for you.

There are also a wide range of preformatted avatars avaialble, so it doesn't have to be a picutre of yourself that is animated, just in case you are camera shy!

Just in case you are worried: Nobody can create an avatar of you without you knowing beause, as part of the security, you have to record yourself reading a random sentence from the screen so that the AI can ensure that the image you have uploaded is definitely your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyGen?

The video avatar for basic and standard packages is restricted to 5 minutes in length, but the system does not accurately calculate that timing from your text-to-speech input & you may end up having to trim the output to make it fit. The advanced & professional packages have no such restriction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HeyGen solving and how is that benefiting you?

HeyGen is solving the problem of people who are just ordinary citizens and not trained actors, being able to create videos of themselves automatically without having to worry about a dozen takes to remove instances of getting words wrong or tripping over our own tongue. The HeyGen system makes sure that every performance is totally flawless, as their system can read and lip sync endless hours of text without error, as the AI system never tires of speaking like you on the screen!

What do you like best about HeyGen?

The customer support is amazingly fast. I had a couple issues (that were my own fault) and support replied within 5-10 minutes. They were very polite and helpful. As for the quality of the AI clone, it was immaculate. I sent the videos to friends and family members and many of them couldn't even tell that it was AI. So valuable for the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyGen?

The platform is still a tiny bit buggy, but it's such a small complaint that it's barely worth mentioning. The customer support is so fast at resolving any issues that it's barely a hiccup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HeyGen solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm using the AI clone to create long form YouTube content. Because of how high quality the Hey Gen AI avatar is, and coupled with the ability to upload multiple looks quickly (which give me a variety of outfits/backgrounds to choose from), I'm able to create videos probably 5-10 times faster than if I were recording it myself, then having to edit out all of the mistakes.

What do you like best about HeyGen?

It's very intuitive to use, and fun to work with, and the first subscription level is at a price that a small start-up like mine can afford.

I would like the opportunity to have two personalised Avatars being able to discuss from an uploaded pdf. E.g.

for instance myself and one of my clients.

Quality output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyGen?

So far I have not yet found anything I dislike about HeyGen. If anything, I think it would be cool to be able to integrate with AI's such as Suno. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HeyGen solving and how is that benefiting you?

HeyGen will be solving my need to make quick video output with very tight deadlines and also

will allow me to let my introvert camera shy clients get a quicker, painless and more cost efficient route to market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HeyGen?

El hecho de poder tener un Avata personalizado ya es bastante, y de poder crear varios con diferentes atuendo y en diferente lugares, le ahorra mucho tiempo de trabajo, el diseño es bastante intuitivo, agradable y confiable, te ofrece bastante recurso a la hora de diseñar, mil puntos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyGen?

Bueno, yo soy latino y mi idioma nativo es el español, y no domino muy bien el ingles, me imagino que abra actualizaciones que permitar cambiar el lenguaje a español, eso me gustaria, del resto todo esta perfectamente bien, gracias Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HeyGen?

The ease of use and layout of all the tools means that even the most novice user can achieve good results. To implement the avatars, the functionality is incredible. The number of existing resources means that the range of media possibilities is large. The more you use the tool, the better the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyGen?

I consider the value for use to be a little high for developing countries. But this is a fair price for such incredible technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HeyGen solving and how is that benefiting you?

The amount of content generated nowadays is very large. It is not possible to record in the studio every time new content needs to be created. Therefore, by having several video shots in different previously recorded scenarios, the possibility of producing multiple avatars helps the demand for multiple content in quantity.
