Banshee's not bad, but she's hard to obtain if you're not in a clan, and she's more of a solo frame :

-Silence is nice, but usually your teammates will just go berzerk and run guns blazing towards anything they see, trying to get the kills before the others do, and once enemies are alerted, they're not affected by Silence anymore

-Sonar is nice too, but still not even close, and by a long shot, to what, say, Nova, or even Nekros can do

-Sound quake is a channelled power. Once the enemies within radius are dead/out of range, you're just standing there taking damage and running through your energy like there was no tomorrow. Mag's 4, for example, is much more efficient and fast, and doesn't even require to max out Stretch and other range mods to be useful.

-Her first isn't bad either, but then again, other frames got better. There again, Mag's 1 is so much more useful (Mag's the first that came to my mind, many others have more powerful 1s than this)

-She has 15 armor and yet has 2 V polarities. V polarities are nice on tanky frames like Valkyr/Rhino, but on Banshee this is a big, BIG weakness IMHO.

So, no, although I really like playing Banshee too, she's really not the best warframe out there.
