What are some free alternatives to SSIS?
You cannot run a SSIS package (. dtsx) without installing the SQL Server integration Services. The minimum requirements are the SSIS client tools and the DTEXEC utility so you must install the Integration Services shared feature from the SQL Server install media.
Despite the arrival of Azure Data Factory, SSIS isn't going away soon. You could even say that the two tools have a friendly rivalry right now. Newer versions of Azure Data Factory include the Integration Runtime, a feature that offers data integration capabilities across different network environments.
However, if you are asking can you execute SSIS packages without LICENSING SQL Server Database Engine, the answer is NO. If you use SSIS, you must have a license on the server.
I'm not sure if these will meet your needs, but you could take a look at:
Pentaho.
CloverETL.
Talend Open Studio for Data Integration.
Or you could do your own additional search at sourceforge.net.
