Setting up SSL can be complex. Documentation is confusing. But other sources of information such as blogs really help.

Sometimes when lots of users get in and try to run the same report at the same time with different parameters.
Customer Service and Technical Support
Customer Service:
Prompt but not always helpful.
Technical Support:Poor
Initial Setup
Depends on the requirements and infrastructure, but proper planning makes it pretty straightforward.
Implementation Team
In-house
Pricing, Setup Cost and Licensing
Being rollover customers from a previously owned company there was confusion about licensing. Talking to an Oracle rep helped.
Other Advice
Excellent BI tool that is flexible and user-friendly, and getting better with each new release.

When we look for excellence , look feather no more! its just right and appropriate for Oracle.
In our organization we were recommended by Oracle Support to implement Vertical Scaling for OBIEE to resolve a similar issue.
The scalability issue you reported should be solved by vertical scaling since it involves creating multiple instances of the BI server component.
Then different users accessing the same report are diverted to the other BI process (round robin) which should lessen the load for this report.
I have worked & implemented on OBIEE, great product, I hope the BICS will also have the entire feature spectrum OBIEE has in the near future. compared to other competitive products this has much better features. cost is high & the support and coverage is poor.
