Madrigal Partners vs. Coastal Cloud: Why Lifetime Beats Temporary

Industry Focus Meets Lifetime Commitment

Coastal Cloud has built a reputation as an industry-focused Salesforce partner. But when it comes to protecting your investment long-term, how does their approach compare to Madrigal Partners' revolutionary Lifetime Guarantee? Let's dive into the details that matter.

Firm Profiles

Coastal Cloud

• Founded in 2012, based in Florida
• Industry-focused approach (nonprofit, education, healthcare)
• 200+ employees across multiple locations
• Standard 90-day warranty on implementations
• Traditional consulting model

Madrigal Partners

• Boutique Salesforce consultancy
• Deep specialization in Financial Services Cloud
• 100% certified senior consultants
• Industry's only Lifetime Guarantee
• Performance-based partnership model

The Fundamental Philosophy Difference

Coastal Cloud's Approach: 'We know your industry'

Madrigal's Promise: 'We guarantee your success—forever'

While industry knowledge is valuable, it doesn't protect you from implementation defects, integration failures, or the hidden costs that plague Salesforce projects. Only a Lifetime Guarantee does that.

Industry Expertise Comparison

Coastal Cloud's Industry Coverage:

• Nonprofit: Strong presence and knowledge
• Education: Growing practice
• Healthcare: Established expertise
• Financial Services: Limited depth
• Spread across multiple verticals

Madrigal's Focused Excellence:

• Financial Services Cloud: Recognized leaders
• Insurance: Deep platform knowledge
• Wealth Management: 50+ implementations
• Banking: Compliance and security experts
• Depth over breadth strategy

For Financial Services specifically, the depth difference is dramatic. While Coastal Cloud treats FSC as one of many clouds, Madrigal has team members who've implemented FSC since its beta release.

The Real Cost of 'Standard' Warranties

Let's examine what happens after the honeymoon period:

Month 4 with Coastal Cloud:

• Warranty expired
• Integration breaks after Salesforce update: $15K fix
• Workflow logic error discovered: $8K fix
• Custom code optimization needed: $12K fix
• Annual support contract: $180K

Year 4 with Madrigal Partners:

• Integration issues: $0 (Lifetime Guarantee)
• Workflow fixes: $0 (Lifetime Guarantee)
• Code optimizations: $0 (Lifetime Guarantee)
• Only pay for new features, not fixes

One client calculated they saved $430K over 3 years with Madrigal's guarantee versus traditional support costs.

Making the Right Choice
