Is SAFe® (Scaled Agile Framework®) not Agile?

Agilemania

There has been some amount of criticism about SAFe. Some Agile experts are not hard-core fans of SAFe.

ActiveCollab

Even though sprints and iterations have a lot in common and are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between them. Both terms are linked to scrum, a modern project management framework, and follow a specific timeframe during which planned work should be completed, but they're not the same.
