When To Go Mananged or Unmanaged Solution in Dynamics CRM

Here are some points that I consider when making decision between Managed and Unmanaged solutions:
Should go managed when:
  • You need to uninstall solutions
  • You want your solutions on marketplace
  • You are shipping repeatable solutions
  • You are maintaining integration components
Otherwise, go unmanaged.

And there are some limitation with managed:
  • Can't overwrite unmanaged changes
  • Less predictability in end result because of solutions layering and existing unmanaged customization
  • Solution dependencies
  • Can't return to unmanaged state
  • Inability to fix small issues easily
  • Challenges for deleting components
