User Reviews
View all reviews on G2Known for Constantly Adding Innovative Features ... Great Company for Customer Success
What do you like best about HeyGen?
I feel that HeyGen is a very powerful tool for creating AI videos. The standout feature is undoubtedly the AI avatars. HeyGen's avatars are incredibly lifelike and realistic, with natural movements and expressions virtually indistinguishable from real humans. I was blown away by how seamlessly the lip-syncing matches the audio, creating a truly immersive viewing experience. I can quickly select an avatar, input my script, choose a voice, and generate a polished video in no time.
Though I haven't used their language translation features much in 2024, I plan to use them more in 2025 as I recently acquired clients from Japan and Taiwan. The capability of easily translating videos quickly into other languages is genuinely remarkable.
I believe that the mark of a good software company is having really useful products and constantly innovating with valuable features. I evaluated a lot of AI Avatar tools, and I believe that HeyGen is the Leader. However, the mark of a GREAT company is what they do when something goes wrong. I experienced a significant problem, and the Customer Success Team jumped into action to help me. Kudos to Joy and Liz for really helping me when I needed it.
If you are producing videos that need a lifelike spokesperson for sales, education, or any other communication, HeyGen is a must-have. I am an Enterprise user, and I highly recommend that you ascend to the Enterprise level as quickly as possible to take advantage of all the company offers.
What do you dislike about HeyGen?
They removed one of my favorite female avatars.
What problems is HeyGen solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easier and faster to use AI Avatars for training videos then it is to use live subject matter experts who may not have the best video presence.
Great for developing cost-effective education

I am a non-tech techy.
What do you like best about HeyGen?
HeyGen makes it possible for me to create my Avatars, connect my videos, and use my voice without having to know what happens in the back room. It is relatively easy and I love the fact that I can be competitive in the marketplace.
I use HeyGen at least weekly. ...

What do you like best about HeyGen?
I'm in a PreK-12 setting, and quiet places with attractive backgrounds are hard to come by. I love that I only had to have such a setting once (to create my Instant Avatar), and now I'm able to "tell myself" what to say in a wide variety of videos, simply by writ...
