No, allanon indeed outclassed zekt. Zekt is only a crit unit with an addition of elemental mitigation.

Allanon is a status cleanse/null unit with mitigation, elements, bb on hit, hp, elemental dmg increase, OD gauge fill and burst healer.

Zekt has better stats, but as for fulfilling roles, he's lackluster while allanon is a prodigy.
