I worked on a project 4 years ago using some of Watson's cloud services (Its more a brand than a product now). Worked ok for us, certainly on par or better than Google / Microsoft's offerings at the time. We actually had contact with some of the original Watson team, that had some interesting insights / details - needless to say, much of Watson is 'brand marketing' and not really hard AI science ... bit like every other 'AI' product in the market right now I guess - Disclaimer: I work for a cloud software company building AI products ... ;)
