Before we get into 'Agile' and 'SAFe Agile,' it is essential first to understand the differences better, to better grasp the basic concepts of 'Agile' and 'SAFe Agile.'
'Agile' refers to the disciplined and flexible project management methodology, which is mainly used for software development of new and innovative products, as they require rapid delivery of such products to gain competitive advantage.

'Scalable Agile Framework (SAFe)' allows for the enterprise-level application of lean-agile practices and is generally used in large-scale organisations to meet the needs of all stakeholders by guiding the projects pertaining to enterprise portfolio and value stream.

Difference between Agile and SAFe Agile?
Agile is an iterative method used for developing a product that focuses on the continuous delivery of tasks assigned. It is dependent on cross-functional teams, sprints(set of stories), and specific roles that help in delivering the assignment. Agile is mainly developed for a small team of ten or fewer people. SAFe, on the other hand, is an agile framework for an enterprise which is not limited to smaller teams and guides enterprises in scaling lean and agile practices.

In the case of large organisations, which deal with large-scale and mission-intensive projects, SAFe will be more beneficial as it uses a combination of existing lean and agile principles and combines them in a template framework. Also, SAFe allows people to use agile frameworks with large groups by adding an extra layer of communication and control.
However, there are various other factors such as involvement of management in the project, company structure, number of employees working, stakeholders requirement, etc. which will affect the organisation's decision to choose between the most suitable agile framework.
