Agile is not the be all and end all of software development. From my experience it does not work in all situations. All it takes is for one person to not follow the Agile methodology and the whole project begins to fall apart. It needs a very good, close team to pull it off.
That said when it does work (rarely in my experience) it yields quick and solid developments, with generally a higher acceptance from the customers.
