The only thing I am aware of is that Virtuozzo has an option to use SLM Memory Management. Supposedly it is more accurate than OpenVZ in top and free.
I will never use Virtuozzo again. My last account rep was worthless and the other account reps I've spoken with were unable to assist me because they weren't my rep. I ended up having to shutdown my business because of them years ago because the only person who was able to sell me more licenses was my rep who actively ignored me. I tried to escalate it to somebody else but I would ALWAYS get sent to his voicemail after speaking with them. I'm sure the rep is long gone but this experience was bad enough to make me stay clear of Parallels forever.
If you changed the title to 'Do you see any disadvantages to using Virtuozzo over OpenVZ' then I think this would be the busiest topic of the week.
Virtuozzo is OpenVZ with lots of bloatware. I've personally seen a company that we bought have their Virtuozzo platform (25-26 servers) upgraded by Parallels as part of a service contract and then the whole thing falling over. 24 hours later still down. We resurrected it by moving the containers off onto OpenVZ machines.
Aftet spending over a year working with Virtuozzo directly as a provider, I see no benefits.
The web interface is better than Solus etc but in general, no
