I think it would be good to be able to ping non-SEP clients from SEPM to determine if they are online. I use different methods now and this would shorten my time rolling out to new clients.

Thought so:)
I've seen that it's quite rare way to use grouping on SEP, mostly AD sync wont fit in AD infra created years a go. Non-sep client do appear on SEP Manager console only when using AD sync/grouping.

It would be a great solution !
Everytime, i need to open a Command Prompt + Retype the Ping + Name of computer to terst if the client are connected...
A right click on the Client .. ( If it's possible also from the Web Report .. ) Would be a Verry wonderfull Idea!
