I love using custom properties - they allow me to use Orion as a single point of truth in the network. it take a little more time to enter a new device, but that's far better than having multiple "databases" for all the items that need to be tracked.

I use this often in client deployments. Now we just need all the resources to have a filter option. Alerts, Hardware Health, Application Health, some of the top/Last XX resources, etc. A way around it is to use View Limitations based on the custom property but that means it then applies to every resource and sub-view.
