Alarms and reminders are the only thing I use Siri for, but I have stopped using it most of the time because it's not reliable.
I set alarms to remind me when I need to feed the parking meter so I often say something like "In two hours remind me to pay for parking". About 25% of the time Siri will get it right on the first try. It's pathetic. Usually it's a problem voice recognition problem ("I don't understand into hours"), but I have also had alarms not go off (apparently she didn't hear the confirmation).
I tested Google's voice recognition for the same types of queries and it nails it. In real time. If Apple ever allows users to decide what apps they want to use Google is poised to destroy Siri.
Now I just open Clock and set a timer manually. It's a little slower, but it works 100% of the time.
