Is Agile (big A) really as "proven" as proponents make it out to be?

I'd love to see some citations in the form of "Product XYZ that you know and love is developed using Agile" as opposed to the usual "My cousin's friend's brother's girlfriend used Agile for an internal CRUD tool and it went totally great".

In the real world, the few times I've worked at places that attempted Agile (Scrum both times) I've only seen Agile fail miserably.
