It allows you to keep track of you opponent's sudden change of movements and dodge attacks at the last moment, as opposed to the byakugan who just increases you field of view. It also allows you to copy your opponent's jutsu, depending on it's difficulty of course.Much like the byakugan it allows you to see chakra (also in different colors). It allows you to cast powerful genjutsu on your opponents, and it's power can increase with work. It's an incredibly useful thing to have in training since it will allow you to speed up the process by a lot.And then you have the 3 tomoe sharingan which allowed Sasuke to keep track even of 1 tail Naruto when he just awakened it, and MS/EMS which powers up the usual sharingan abilities further, and brings up another couple OP abilities, including Susanoo. But again, that's overkill. Even the 2 tomoe sharingan is better than the byakugan overall. The Byakugan increases your field of view, allows you see chakra network and strike your chakra points, and gives you nearly 360 degrees view. I'd take the 2 tomoe sharingan over than any day.

I have to agree with Thekillman and want ti clarify too that the Byakugan is able to see high speed at a lvl that it is comparable to the Insight of the 3 tomoe Sharingan. Imagine being able to see people at 360 degree to move in slow motion and being able to kill people by hitting the tenketsu of the heart.

When I remember right was Sasuke not really able to keep up with the 1 tailed Naruto and was destroyed by him until he used the advanced curse mark.

From what I know is the Byakugan way better than the 3 Tomoe Sharingan. Neji with 13 years was able to follow Lee with gates as good as Kakashi with his Sharingan. Maybe even better. The Sharingan can predict the movement but the Byakugan can actually see it and I do not mean the 360 degree vision.

I want to state too that the Byakugan seems to be able to see into the mind of a person too. In Naruto Chapter 78 was Neji perfectly able to read Hinata and in Chapter 99 was Neji able to do the same against Naruto. I have another example from Boruto. He stood in front of the Hyuga's building and thought about something. He did not say it he thought and his grandfather Hiashi asked him about that thought of his. It could be a pun within the anime but there could be some low level of reading the mind of a person.

I want to clarify too that the Sharingan being able to copy any jutsu was not seen. I do not know if it was stated but even Kakashi, Itachi and Sasuke never copied a jutsu that was above B rank.

To the point of the Byakugan only having an edge with a Hyuga. Mukai Kohinata did not really get any training from the Hyuga and would have beaten Shisui and Itachi. The only reason they survived was because of Kotoamatsukami.

Another point of why the Byakugan cannot really be caught in a visual genjutsu is simple and was pointed in my first post put too. By closing the eyes and using the x ray vision are all visual genjutsu useless.

In close combat has Byakugan completely the overhand and for long distances has the Gentle Fist techniques like vacuum palm.

I do not really see the 3 tome Sharingan being better than the Byakugan.
