Against projectile weapons, no way. Unless you're Indiana Jones, of course.
Against bladed weapons, its a matter of skill. Slashing with the whip doesn't cause much damage -- although it may be painful/impressive enough to scare off a casual attacker -- but if you're good you can use the whip to grab and disarm.
Unfortunately, you really have to fall under the category of "insanely good" to make a bullwhip an effective weapon.
