Dude, the weight itself is enough to break the armor and destroy the oponent's capability of even moving their arm for the rest of the fight, either by hacking it off or by causing grave injuries. Stabbing was effective with greatswords, but only if you were able to stab someone with them to start with. Their weight made trying that rather difficult, there's a reason people used Spears for that instead.

Or what, you think that I mean the flat sides of the blade?
