Some instances when you want to use agent-based backup are

1) File servers which you want to be able to get at individual files/folders quickly.  There is no need to mount the VM.

2) Databases which spans more than 1 VM, e.g. Exchange DAG.

With such backups, you loose the ability to restore the entire VM and recover quickly.
