Agent or Agent-less for endpoint security, backup & F5 LB
Which is better, agent or agentless, in terms of
a) ease of support
b) ease of upgrade/patching
c) stability (as often I've seen agents' status going Offline, Unknown, etc)
d) inteference with apps (have seen agents causing issues to .Net, Java & various apps
For endpoint security (eg: Symantec Endpoint, Trend's Deep Security),
backup (eg: Netbackup, Commvault), and F5 LB?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Yes, I'm looking into this.
I've been installing/upgrading agents for 2 products, so have some idea.
So for F5 LB, how does it know the % load of a server if there's no agent
in the target servers that it load balances?
> would not always be given the choice, all endpoint security software that I know work with agents.
Not true, I'm using one EP security which is agentless & I heard Commvault backup can be agentless too
