Well, eventually they were hugely useful. The French in particular went for them big-time, since properly used they radically reduced infantry casualties in attack.
First successful French use of tanks in numbers, coordinated with the infantry, was at the battle for the Malmaision salient in late October 1917. Key to the French getting it right was the break-through design of the Renault FT-17. The French spammed these things. They were particularily nasty at the second battle of the Marne in the summer of 1918, in the counetrattack at Villers-Cotterêts which effectively ended the Germans spring offensive.
The key was to integrate aerial reconnaissance, artillery, infantry and tanks. When all the pieces came together, it worked quite well. But it was a recipy for an army that enjoyed a substantial material advantage over its adversary, which was precisely what the French and the British did, beginning sometime in late 1917.
