Without knowing almost anything about it, I run Proximo on a box at home.

Is it at all comparable to ESX?

I kind of assumed the Proxmox was just the free and cheap and bare bones option.

In terms of features, they match on the simple / broad features. When it comes to scale, reliability, defined compatibility, and supporting tools that is a big no.

I have worked on VMWare stack in previous jobs. but I run proxmox at home now.

Free ESXi without VMware tools is somewhat harder actually. Still far better reliability.
