Well you have to break through their defenses first, i.e. they have to be down to health. That said, even hacking a normal geth completely disrupts their attack.
If I remember it correctly, I kept hacking the Geth Hunters.
My problem with hacking Geth is that their tendency to rush towards the player is preserved, even when they're temporarily converted to your side. So the hacked Geth swivel around and shoot their former allies while still moving towards me, only to have the hacking expire when they are close enough to be deadly. It doesn't happen every time, but it has happened often enough to make me despise certain squadmates' skill sets.
I hate geth.
I've been lucky then, it worked fine for me.
Dominate seems to work great also. Never seen any affected enemies run towards me.
The shield/barrier that you get from building the skill, however, is only a bad thing. I wish it would increase the duration without adding a shield.
But the good thing about hacking is how it effectively controls several enemies regardless of their defenses.
I never used Tali much because I didn't like her skills either. Hacking only works on synthetics, and her drone ability has much too long a cooldown. I am just saying, however, that you shouldn't disregard Hacking or Dominate entirely. They can be incredibly useful.
Would be worth it for some characters to put just one point in one of them I think.
