I've yet to use a truly reliable voice assistant. Google Assistant often listens intently and then just decides it isn't going to do anything, and offers no sort of feedback to assist in troubleshooting. Alexa has by far the most reliable voice recognition and response, but suffers bizarre outages where it sees every wifi network except the one it was connected to. It also has a truly horrific android app that loads all its controls from the web, so troubleshooting an Echo's network connectivity requires connecting your phone alternately to the house wifi and then to the Echo and back and forth, dozens of times if you can't easily find the problem. You can't load the Echo settings page unless you're online and you can't use them unless you're offline and connected to the Echo.
