John, I have not used Proxmox, so cannot provide any thoughts on it. As for the others, Virt-Manager provides the 'full-blown' virtualization experience where the user is able to customize many aspects of the virtual machine environment. Boxes, on the other hand, was designed explicitly to be a simple and clean tool allowing a user to quickly bring up a virtual machine.
