Where does utilitarianism sit with Buddhism and vice versa?

My understanding of utilitarianism is that value is the result of an action e.g. which actions provide the most happiness. There appears to be an overlap between Buddhism and utilitarianism however am unsure how these come together or grow apart in the actions we perform as well as the value of the results. **EDIT** The answer posted to the question is a good candidate for the commonalities as well as differences.
