Alive Itachi does not stand a chance against Kabuto. To be honest, not even Edo Itachi could've defeated Kabuto without Sasuke's help and here is proof
SHARINGAN
1. Itachi cannot even find out where the real Kabuto is using his Sharingan
TSUKUYOMI
1. Upon entering Sage Mode, Kabuto can utilize the snake's cornea to prevent light from entering his eyes and thus prevent visual Genjutsu altogether
AMATERASU
1. Upon entering Sage Mode, Kabuto's gains the ability to sense chakra thus allowing him to quickly realize that he has been hit my Amaterasu the moment Amaterasu starts forming on his body.
2. Just like the Juubi, Kabuto can liquidify his body and get rid of the parts that have been hit my Amaterasu. He gained this ability after injected Suigetsu's DNA into his body
3. Karin's healing techniques were the reason Sasuke chose her and Kabuto is capable of using Karin's healing techniques
4. Shedding Skin Technique which is a famous technique used by Orochimaru can be used by Kabuto to get rid of Amaterasu. Some might disagree so here is some proof on how it could work
SUSANOO
1. The technique is quite difficult for Itachi to use if Kabuto uses Hakugeki [White Rage]
2. By utilizing rocks or even branches, Kabuto can perform Muki Tensei [Inorganic Reincarnation] and make them impale Itachi
3. Totsuka is way to slow to pierce Kabuto considering the fact that Kabuto could dodge Susanoo arrows

MUGEN ONSA
1. Itachi has absolutely no counter to Mugen Onsa and had to get Sasuke's help to get out of the Genjutsu
HAKUGEKI
1. Itachi has absolutely no counter to Hakugeki. Why? Because Yata cannot stop sound and light
MUKI TENSEI
1. Even though Itachi was able to notice the rock formations moving towards them, he failed to defend against them. In case some people say he was trying to defend Sasuke, here is proof where Kabuto claims he was never planning on hurting Sasuke
BODY MODIFICATIONS
1. Without help from Sasuke, Itachi would've failed to prevent attacks that utilized Jirobo, Tayuya, Kidomaru, Kimimaro and Orochimaru. Even with help from Sasuke, Itachi failed to defend against most techniques as seen here.

Kabuto can solo Itachi without even having to use Edo Tensei. Not to mention that the only time Itachi was able to harm Kabuto throughout the battle was when Itachi cut off Kabuto's horn and this happened because Kabuto had forgotten he even had a horn
