VMware ESXi 5.5 - Snapshots can't make independant VM's. Seems different than XenCenter?

With XenCenter I could make a snapshot, load it as a separate independent VM, and start it up and do my testing.

With VMware ESXi 5.5 (free), snapshots seem to be "snapshots" only. I can only go back into time, not create a separate but identical copy.

Am I missing something or need to pay money? Why cant I make a clone a like XenCenter does?

Thank you,
HappyT
