I think the Byakugan is equal to the Sharingan. Byakugan let's you see almost 360 degrees around you and maybe 80 meters in a circle, making sneaking up on you virtually impossible. It can see through objects, so hiding is useless. It can detect body heat, follow high speed movement, and it has the best chakra perception out of any eye in the series. It's severely underestimated by people in comparison to the Uchiha.
