ArcGIS Pro is the market leader for commercial GIS software.
The software is used for the management, visualization and analysis of spatial data. Where the previous versions of ArcGIS had different tools for 2D (ArcMAP) and 3D (ArcScene) and data management (Arc Catalog), ArcGIS Pro combines all three functions in a single tool with a more modern interface and support for 64 bit environments and GPU acceleration.
