I own both a GH and an a 1st Gen Echo and I find Google Home's language processing much better than Alexa's. I can give the GH a complex command and most of the time it will understand and execute the request. So even in a somewhat noisy room if the TV is on or people are taking, I can usually get it to understand on the first attempt. Therefore its great for home automation. However, with Alexa, I have to be quite a bit more precise with my verbal commands or I have to rephrase and repeat the command. So not the best for home automation at this point.

But Alexa does seems to have a head-start with third-party integration and services. So for now I own one of each. I'm hoping that maybe both of them will reach parity at some point and I can finally settle on one of them.
