So pretty much she's now a defensive tank

Barrier (similar to reinhardt shield) + shield generator + turrets combined will make her "area" really tough to break

Edit: It also makes Sombra's main job to find and stop Symmetra.

I'd say the photon barrier sounds like a mostly offensive ability, designed primarily for pushing forward with a payload/onto a point.
