Visual Workflow—the product that encompasses the process of designing, managing, and running flows. If you’re not sure about the difference between Visual Workflow and workflow rules, check out this help topic.
Cloud Flow Designer—a point-and-click tool that you can use to design flows.
Flow—an application that automates a process by collecting, updating, editing, and creating Salesforce data. Flows can execute logic, interact with the Salesforce database, call Apex classes, and guide users through screens for collecting and updating data. Most often, flows are built by using the Cloud Flow Designer.

Hi Nitish,

Visual Workflow is a retired product name for designing, managing, and running flows. Visual Workflow has been superseded by Lightning Flow. Lightning Flow is the product that encompasses building, managing, and running flows and processes.

Cloud Flow Designer is a point-and-click tool that lets you automate business processes by building flows. A flow is an application that automates a business process by collecting data and doing something in your Salesforce org or an external system.
