I have been using IBM Watson, and it is also sensitive to clean input data.

I think that both IBM and Microsoft are doing a good job at "reinventing themselves", BTW.

edit: by 'clean' I really meant data that is in a regular structure with good example questions specified for each paragraph in input documents.

The world need more serious analytical tools.

I driving an effort for a major bank to combine all sources of different data (traffic logs and external treat intelligence feeds - all of different formats) to create a comprehensive fraud alerting and security investigation system. And we got pretty impressive results utilizing Splunk as a data swiss army knife.

IBM is certainly capable of offering a competitive solution to this industry although they need to move faster.

WatsonAnalytics is a good start even at it's current "teaser preview" stage.
