Azure Appinsights vs Log Analytics

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?

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.
