What do you want to use the categories for? For presets/provisions?

I can think of at least 3 ways to group devices:

- assign tags to devices and use those in preconditions in presets
- use preconditions to run a preset only for a number of devices, 
grouped by Productclass, Model, Subnet, etc.
- use a custom logic in a provision script to evaluate if actions need 
to be applied to a certain device

Yes, see 1. Use preconditions to run a preset only for a group of devices.
