Currently I am logging my custom log messages to an Azure Table.
Now I need to automatically trigger the sending of emails based on log types and also need to generate an analysis report from the log messages.
Which service is more suitable to get this done? Azure Application Insights or Azure Log Analytics?

Monitor is the brand, and Log Analytics is one of the solutions. Log Analytics and Application Insights have been consolidated into Azure Monitor to provide a single integrated experience for monitoring Azure resources and hybrid environments.
"Log Analytics" is referred as a feature and not what used to be known as Log Analytics as a product. For instance, Application Insights resources provide the same "Log Analytics" feature. For Azure Functions / APIM the native integration with Azure Monitor is through Application Insights. Update (October, 2020).
Log Analytics is a tool in the Azure portal to edit and run log queries from data collected by Azure Monitor logs and interactively analyze their results. You can use Log Analytics queries to retrieve records that match particular criteria, identify trends, analyze patterns, and provide various insights into your data.
Azure monitor is a service that provides monitoring and diagnostics for resources in Azure, while application insights is a service that provides monitoring and diagnostics for web applications.
I think Application Insights will fit both - creating reports as well as sending out emails. You can do the same with Log Snalytics but the difference is, is that Log Analytics is basically a logical storage of all your log data and you can create custom reports, alerts etc. across many different services, also, everything can be nicely visualized in OMS.
As being said in the comments, you need to describe a bit more about the scenario.
