It's better than wraith overall. There are situations/builds where wraith might be to your preference but really, prisma is a much better weapon. Its very minor drop in damage is made up for by having more slash and puncture (more preferable anyways) in addition to the crit chance/damage and increased accuracy, fire rate and lower recoil.

The reduced status chance coupled with the reduced impact damage could arguably make for a worse corpus build, especially for toxin procs and everything, but you can still get it up to about a 30-40% status chance if you really want to, which is pretty good with its fire rate. Add to that the extra crit potential and the fact you'll be landing more bullets and it's really no contest.
