How much is known about what's on the other side of the Milky Way?

That really depends on what you'd call the "other side" of the Milky Way. 

Most of the "other side" is just as well known as most of "this side" since there is barely any difference (apart from the added distance, of course) in the measurement process.

However, we don't know much about the area with is "obstructed" by the center of the milky way. The problem there is that the center of our galaxy is fairly dense and as such it's quite a problem to measure any significant data from things behind it. Basically it's like trying to measure the luminosity of a light bulb while holding it in front of the sun - the background noise is way to big. In any way, it's not expected that there is some weird discontinuity of our galaxy's structure there - spiral galaxies are typically very symmetrical.
