This is only a small proportion of customers, so I don't have a statistically significant sample to comment on.
It's probably most useful in large environments with small numbers of non-responsive devices, as these are the cases where a large number of monitored devices in groups can appear to be "everything" - it's easy to overlook the fact that there are a few devices missing from hundreds or thousands across multiple groups. These cases tend to be where a small number of devices have non-standard SNMP configs, etc - maybe their community string differs from what should be the network standard and therefore the group-level snmp.community value doesn't permit a response.
However, it does have uses in smaller environments, and clearly also if all N00 or N,000 detections from a netscan arrive in Minimal Monitoring, it will quickly flag this up too.
I'll take note of this.
