Byakugan did nothing to help Hinata, but Sharingan Obito had a noticeable jump in ultility.

Byakugan is much more reliant on other jutsu and abilities, unlike the Sharingan which is a weapon of it's own. Even a moderately intelligent person can make great use of a Sharingan, yet it takes far more effort to get your mileage out of the Byakugan. But once you do, a Byakugan user could rival the Mangekyou.
