Yeah there is SharkScope and all they track are sit n goes and thepokerDB.com (now part of bluff magazine) I believe tracks both sngs and MTTs. officialplayerrankings.com (I think that is what it is) is a decent site as well for tracking yours and others stats. Pocketfives has a ranking system for MTT's that is very "prestigous" for lack of a better word. If you are on the leaderboard there you are a major player.
Those are a few of the big ones but you also might be thinking of software like pokertracker which allows you to track every penny you win, lose, or bet at any point during any hand as long as you have the hand history. Pokertracker even has a heads up display, basically all sorts of numbers and stats that are on each player at the table and all of these random stats tell you various things on your opponent from how many hands they have played to the average amount of time they see the river to just about anything else you could think to track on a player.
Pokertracker is very involved, I personally don't use it, but if you learn to use the stats provided by the software to your advantage you can really improve your game and learn to exploit weakness in others games.
