While SSIS can be a bit tricky, I'd still recommend SSIS. Some of the problems in loading Excel data via SSIS are problems you might also run into with other tools - namely, handling the data types.

Any time I have to read in Excel data, I always try to see if the data can first be saved as CSV instead. Obviously that's not always possible, but I still try at the beginning.
