FileMaker Server is the on-premises version for multi-user databases and FileMaker Cloud is an AWS-hosted SaaS version for hosting custom apps in the cloud (now getting new features as they're added to the platform rather than lagging behind), with FileMaker Pro Advanced the vehicle for building the shared databases.
The previous FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Advanced are now combined in a single version, FileMaker Pro Advanced (a rather unwieldy name that hopefully will be simplified in a future version). Part of that simplification is reducing the number of different versions of FileMaker. FileMaker has become a particularly accessible way of doing this (primarily for iOS, but with a slightly lagging set of options for Android and web), and the latest release, FileMaker 17, is aimed very much at this audience. There are plenty of 'low code' tools aimed at people who aren't professional developers but who need to create apps that are essentially databases with mobile interfaces for collecting and viewing data, filling out forms and connecting to plug-and-play services to add more features.
