Depends. You mean more effective in terms of CC or damage? Shen can taunt multiple champions at the same time, but if supposedly both teams have perfect positioning the back lines shouldn't get hit by Shen's taunt in the first place. As far as damage is concerned a max level Rammus does 195+42 AoE magic damage per second with ult and Sunfire Cape, so he pretty much annihilates any squishy he taunts along with W and a Thornmail.

So yeah, their roles are different. Shen is more of a splitpusher who joins fights from anywhere across the map, while Rammus is a distruptive anti-ADC champion. As far as teamfighting goes Rammus is more useful but Shen can be conditionally stronger (shields his carry and can peel against multiple champions at once).
