The most compelling reason to choose an agentless monitoring approach is that it provides compatibility across a variety of systems, which is particularly important in an environment that contains both newer and older systems. Agentless solutions generally rely on standards-based protocols present in many operating systems, allowing them to integrate smoothly with older legacy systems which might not support newer agent-based tools. While other answers may present valid points for using agentless solutions, they do not focus on the specific need for compatibility with older systems. Answers mentioning minimization of network traffic or inherent security are less specific to the given scenario, and while reduced maintenance is advantageous, it is not the primary concern in a mixed system environment.
