It's more a replacement for VMWare Server than VMWare ESX.
I think KVM/Xen are closer to ESX. VirtualBox ships with a webservice that you can write custom front-ends against (or script against).
Most of the VM tools seems to miss an ability to branch a VM (i.e. take a snapshot and break it off as a seperate instance). This would be hugely useful for installer testing.
- omh 16y agoI'm pretty sure that Virtualbox machines can be cloned, and they'll clone the latest snapshot. It's not easily exposed in the GUI though.
