When it comes to battle capabilities soldier for soldier the Space Marines are the best in the galaxy, and surpass the Adepta. Unlike the Space Marines, however the Adepta have access to new and better technology which might give them an edge. The Adepta are known for taking for examination alien tech, while the SM destroy it. Despite that if it comes down to military capability the Astartes are second to none.

It is actually good for the Imperium that devoted fanatatics like the Adepta oversee it, it is undeniable they have done much to preserve the Imperium and protect it. And for the most part Space Marines and the Sisters of battle are not enemies. They treat each other good, and offer the respect one warriour offers another. Every time the Adepta fought the Space Marines was because of completely moronic reasoning such as `who is The Emperors favourite`, neither willing to step down or even cooperate they slaughter each other. An example of that is the Kaurava conflict. There were IG, SM, and the Adepta along with a bunch of other races. Instead of cooperating and owning the xenos and Chaos, the Blood Ravens lost 500 marines and Vance died. The reason? Each claimed to be the favourite.
