Yes, they are based on actually Azure Application Insights and that is what actually tracks the way your users are using your application. Application Insights is the name of the product actually, and previously most of the stuff related to programming was called Visual Studio {Product}, such as, Visual Studio Telemetry Visual Studio Online Now they are all changed and developed as a separate product. Application Insights is a free product of Microsoft that you can use; it is similar to Google Analytics. I created a video that you might be interested in watching on YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLEw02uwpls. Application Insights also is very easy to integrate in ASP.NET, .NET framework desktop applications, mobile apps. Actually, there is a complete documentation available as well that you can easily study. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/application-insights/
