    Workflows are limited to only 4 actions
    Create Task
    Update Fiel
    Email Alert
    Outbound Message

    Process Builder does all that and more, with the exception of Outbound Messages.  I found this trailhead helpful in understanding process and flow builders.

    For updating related records, Process Builder can update any field on any related record, where Workflow can only update some fields on a parent record of a Master-Detail relationship. ... Also,Process Builder finally gives admins the ability to set the exact order of operations, whereas with Workflow we had no control.

    Process Builder lets you access fields on every related record. In Workflow, you can reference fields on the record's parent.
