Massive, heavy bows with demanding attribute requirements, Greatbows typically cannot be used until later in a playthrough.
They require specialized ammunition, and are slow to wield and fire. Best used as an alpha strike against distant foes, or for landing hits on truly massive targets while they are disengaged from you, Greatbows are a poor choice for general combat, but they can come in handy against certain big game targets.
