In the Star Trek: Mirror Universe story "Ill Winds" from the Shards and Shadows anthology, Sarah April's mirror universe is said to have developed the agonizer. 
In , agonizers were seen as still being used in the mirror universe. They were sufficiently improved over the earlier model that they no longer needed physical contact with their victims to be effective.
In the TNG-era novel Dark Mirror by Diane Duane, a 24th century Empire had incorporated the agonizer into the insignia pins worn on the uniform, much as in the primary universe, Starfleet had incorporated communicators. As with those seen in "Shattered Mirror" they were improved technologically, but it was so they could be smaller, and they still needed to touch their victims to work.
Klingon agonizers were also seen in use in the Star Trek newspaper comic strip.
