I think he's an overrated character whose achievements were basically: killing his parents, who allowed it because they didn't want to harm him, abusing kid Sasuke, who wasn't old enough to be able to defend himself, beating Nagato with Naruto and B in a 3 on 1 fight, and beating Kabuto with Sasuke in a 2 on 1 fight and some other characters who are defenseless against basic Sharingan genjutsu.
Itachi fans also brag about how he could've killed Sasuke in their fight if he wanted to. The truth is, he was keeping up with Sasuke solely through having a more advanced Sharingan. Actually, the fact that the 21-year-old Itachi needs MS to best a 15-year-old Sasuke who's using basic Sharingan proves his inferiority. If he wasn't using the Mangekyou, his little brother would've made short work of him.
When Deidara was talking down to Sasuke about how he is nothing without the Sharingan, that talk was actually meant for Itachi more than Sasuke himself, because at that point he didn't even know Sasuke and he had a grudge against Itachi, who is really nothing without the Sharingan. Itachi hasn't shown any formidable jutsus that he acquired through training outside of what was given to him by the Sharingan. His case is way worse than Sasuke's.
I also don't see Itachi killing his own parents and traumatizing his kid brother or that whole Uchiha massacre as heroic. No matter what were his intentions. I don't know what message is Kishimoto trying to deliver by portraying something like that as heroic. That's deeply messed up.
Also, the idea that he was protecting the village and Sasuke all these years is very weird to me because the Akatsuki collected 7 tailed beasts, and Deidara and Obito came very close to killing Sasuke and he did nothing about it. He was just kind of there.
So, yeah. The character doesn't make sense to me and I think he was given more credit than he deserved.
