2. What's the difference between WCF Diagnostics Tracing vs. Application Insights?
Application Insights = Cloud-based APM (Application Performance Monitoring) with automatic instrumentation, distributed tracing, dependency tracking, but limited SOAP payload retention (64KB max), expensive at scale ($480+/month for 15GB/day), requires Azure subscription. Nodinite WCF Diagnostics Tracing = Unlimited SOAP payload retention (no size limits), 7+ year retention, business self-service with Log Views (no KQL queries), 85% cost savings ($3,600/year vs. $36K+), on-premise or cloud deployment, retroactive Search Field extraction. Use Application Insights for APM telemetry (request rates, dependencies, exceptions), Nodinite for complete business transaction logging with full payloads and business intelligence.
