Isengard was prepared in, like, two months at most, whereas Mordor had years to do its thing.

But! Remember one thing, Mordor had to supply armour for THOUSANDS or even MILLIONS of Orcs, no matter on how good their smithies were, it were too many Orcs to give decent armour, Isengard on the other hand had to supply it's probably around 15-20 thousand soldiers.
