If you don't want to pay a lot of money, you can go for SSIS, as its open-source version is available. When it comes to licensing, SSIS can be expensive.
Are you aware that SSIS is free if you own SqlServer? And that’s just production.  So it’s a bit of a curious question. You will have to run it on the sqlserver to avoid a separate license but that’s often not an issue and can actually be an advantage depending on how you utilize the tool. Non-prod sqlserver can be run with the developer edition which is free.  You will of course pay for any add-ons that aren’t shareware.

The pricing of SSIS is generally considered reasonable in comparison to other data integration tools in the market. In terms of licensing, I find Microsoft's pricing policy generally favorable, especially when comparing it to other products like Power BI. Microsoft's pricing is competitive, and they seem to have a good strategy, as evident in the success of Power BI. Over the years, SSIS has gained recognition, and Microsoft's promotion efforts have been effective.

The solution is economical. It comes free with the SQL Server. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server.
The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica. I assume SSIS's enterprise version of SQL Server is pretty costly, but I must be aware.
This is difficult since it is included in the SQL server license. Depending on the arrangement that a certain company has with Microsoft, it may supply the permanent license that is included in the SQL server license, or it may be a time-bound license if it is a partner license or other enterprise license. I am not sure what our relationship with Microsoft is like or what the program is, but I believe it's some sort of enterprise license. In the past, I worked with permanent licenses.
This solution is a free of charge addition to our SQL licence. However, the only way this tool can be utilized is as a feature of the SQL licence, which may make it unattractive to organizations who don't wish to purchase the wider-ranging licence.

An SQL Server license includes licenses for the database engine, reporting services, SSIS, and analysis services. That's the nice thing about this package. When you buy it, you get all of these different add-ons.

SSIS is part of SQL server, in itself a very solid product. You can run SSIS on the same SQL server instance where your data warehouse is, using the compute power at night to update, and during the day for reporting and data analysis.

SSIS is on the cheaper side. In terms of value for the money, rivals are offering more database formats and cost processing, so SQL is lagging somewhat.

Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free.

When you purchase SQL Server, SSIS tends to come with it. Whether you purchase the standard edition or an enterprise edition, SSIS comes with it. Whether you choose to install it on a separate server, or the same server as the database, that really comes down to Microsoft's charging. My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft.
The price is important to us. We are based in Iran, and we look for products with a good price because of the sanctions. Some other products such as Oracle are expensive here and we do not recommend these products to our customers. They are expensive and they are very difficult to work with them. They are very difficult and very complicated but Microsoft products are not like that.
Look at how this product is sold to you. Ask yourself, am I getting everything that I need. Its more expensive to get the additional adapters after the fact.
SSIS is a versatile tool for data integration tasks like ETL processes, data migration, and real-time data processing. Users appreciate its ease of use, data transformation tools, scheduling capabilities, and extensive connectivity options. It enhances productivity and efficiency within organizations by streamlining data-related processes and improving data quality and consistency.
It was included in our licensing for SQL server, and our licensing for SQL server was extremely cheap, making it a very good price point for us.
