The virt-manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt. It primarily targets KVM VMs, but also manages Xen and LXC (linux containers). It presents a summary view of running domains, their live performance & resource utilization statistics. Wizards enable the creation of new domains, and configuration & adjustment of a domain’s resource allocation & virtual hardware. An embedded VNC and SPICE client viewer presents a full graphical console to the guest domain.

Said about virt-manager as an alternative
arpeters Fully open source alternative to VirtualBox available in Debian repository. I don't trust VirtualBox anymore since it was excluded from Debian main.
Very powerful tool. Allows you to manage a headless virtualization server with ease. Can also easily manage QEMU/KVM virtual machines and Xen VMs.
virt-manager with kvm/libvirtd is as powerfull as virtualbox, but much much more faster.

Just because VirtualBox is not in Debian packages anymore, I could not trust it any further. There is where Virt Manager kicks in with its far more advanced interface. Found it as an alternative to VirtualBox and didn't regret even a little. Highly recommended fully open source software (FOSS).
