What is the difference between APM and logging?

Logging answers what was recorded. APM emphasizes latency distributions, dependency maps, and profiling. ArgusLogs bridges deep structured logs with performance-oriented method and SQL timing data.

If you are comparing vendors

SaaS APM (Dynatrace, Datadog, New Relic) is a different buying motion than a .NET library with a free license key. Fair pages: /compare/argus-vs-dynatrace, /compare/argus-vs-datadog. Do not treat ArgusLogs as a drop-in OneAgent replacement.
