Topology based alert correlation?

Are there any products out there that are really good at network alert correlation? I mean correlating network device issues, as well as correlating network issues to app issues (like an app dies because the switch it was connected to died).

I recently sat through sales pitches from Big Panda and Moogsoft and both of them basically relied on you tagging all of your devices with common tags for them to group by.

Me: "how does it know that App A depends on Network Switch B?"

Them: "well you tag both objects with a common Location tag, and then our patented algorithm correlates them together! It's very advanced Machine Learning and AI"

Needless to say I wasn't that impressed.
