Think of the Adepta Sororitas as a cross between the Adeptus Astartes and the Imperial Guard. They're not as numerous as the Guard (only ten troopers plus one veteran as opposed to the Guard's twelve troopers and one sergeant) but they're not as tough as the basic Marine squad (weaker armor). While they can carry some of the heavy weapons that the Marines play with (Heavy Bolters and Plasma Pistols), they are slightly weaker because, while they do wear Imperator armor like the Marines, their version isn't as efficient due to their inability to interface with it, they lack the Phase 19 geneseed implant (the Black Carapace). Some of their vehicles (the Immolator) aren't as effective as the Marine's (the Land Raider) or the Guard's (the Baneblade) but all units do come at a much cheaper cost in terms of requisition or squad and vehicle cap. Their uber-unit, the Living Saint, is pretty good at fighting other army's ubers but she does die rather quickly. Yeah, things may seem pretty weak for them at Tier1 but wait til they get full upgrades at Tier2 and 3 then they can pretty much mix it up with the rest of those testosterone-laden masochists. 
Try maxing the units for their intended roles. Battle Sister squads are your basic multi-purpose bitches. Celestian squads make use of heavy weaponry like Multi-Meltas and Plasma cannons so send them after your opponents armor. Seraphim and Repentia squads are perfect for taking on Khorne Berzerkers, Howling Banshees and Kroot Carnivores while a group of three Immolators backed up Penitent Engines will turn squads of Marines into flaming carcasses within seconds. Try upgrading a separate group of Immolators with Meltaguns and they can even take on Predator Annihilators with ease. Just remember to keep several Battle Sister squads with Heavy Bolters behind any of these to back them up incase there are some stray grunts prowling around.
Basically they were added into the mix to make up some sort of middle ground between the ubermen of the Space Marines and the numerical superiority of the Guardsmen.Personally, i just think they were added in there to provide some gender equality.
