Reliable in the sense that it works and produces results that are likely
to be fairly close to the reality you want to measure? Absolutely.
Reliable in the sense that you can always rely on it being available?
Unfortunately not.
The latter is more of a licensing issue, though, which unfortunately
also means that it is not likely to be fixed... :(
