Malzahar can do twice the damage in a single combo. He can melt tanks if you build some penetration thanks to his Null Zone and he can lock down a target for a whole 2.5 seconds. That is basically a stun.

When Syndra ults a target can still function so it can lifesteal, attack, perform spells, flash or even use heal.

Malzahar has a 3 second AOE silence which can turn a failed teamfight into an ace and can put E on someone and then fall back. He can siege the turrets way better than her, just put E on enemy minion and it will slowly progress untill it reaches someone under enemy turret.

Minions will always draw turret agro on themselves which can be useful when there are no minions and your team needs a push.

Don't get me wrong, Syndra is great and she counters some champions, Malzahar included, but her job is totally different from Malzahar's.
