Due to the fact that all of the data which FinJinni extracts must be uploaded to the Azure servers and also due to throttled performance of the service levels on those servers, the time to extract your data from QuickBooks can be much higher in an Azure environment than if a local SQL database was used. Please be patient and remember that a higher performance level will reduce the load time.
Also, once the initial data load is performed, incremental extracts will complete in much less time.
