The setup is easy. However if first implemented, it's a good idea to add a "clean up" rule at the bottom rather than denying. This will allow the traffic and you can further tweak rules without impacting users.
It is very important before implementing security improvements to have a test environment to evaluate correctly. I recommend taking previous implementations into account.

I think application control has become a basic feature and it should be enabled automatically, without having to purchase a separate license for it. Alternatively, it should be available at a minimal cost.
Pricing is in line with the competition. Licensing is not complicated. The license application is straightforward and it functions well. There are no additional costs that I'm aware of.
Choosing the correct set of the licenses is essential - without the additional software blade licenses purchased the Check Point gateways are just stateful firewall.
