This depends on the dog. Some dogs are fine with this, while other dogs should have their feeding regulated.

There are at least two good reasons to regulate a dogs eating habits. The first one is the obvious: to keep the dog from becoming overweight. The second reason is, if you are the one feeding the dog twice or thrice a day, then you can enforce the idea that you are letting the dog eat the food that YOU give him. This may help to keep the dog from getting aggressive over his food, because he may not see it as HIS food, but rather the food that you are letting him eat.

But if there are no aggression problems, and if the dog is not likely to become overweight, then free feeding the dog could save time on your part, and be more enjoyable for the dog.
