We are in process of migration from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2016. In our environment we have a lot of InfoPath forms. I know we can migrate the InfoPath forms from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 and then to 2016. Given that InfoPath will be deprecated, we don't want users to create more InfoPath forms as this will be difficult for any future migrations. Are there any alternative in SharePoint 2016 from Microsoft for InfoPath forms? We would avoid using third party tools.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Rishi...something to consider is SharePoint 2019 will support PowerApps and Flow (InfoPath as well). This would be a great replacement for the InfoPath forms you have developed so far and a good going forward strategy.

SolutionCorrect, InfoPath 2019 still supports 2019 as part of the Microsoft's commitment to support that technology until 2026

I know you mentioned no third party tools. But I'd recommend taking a look at ClaySys AppForms. As you said, it's better to move away from Infopath even though Microsoft will continue supporting it for a few more years.
Microsoft has presented PowerApps as a replacement for InfoPath, but we know that it's not an advanced solution.
PS: AppForms supports SP 2016, 2019 & Office 365

@Rishi Gupta It seems that Microsoft will continue to support InfoPath Forms Services in Sharepoint Server 2016 (as well as Sharepoint 365)

@Rishi Guptaback in the time when this question was asked, there were no options, but now we have Microsoft Forms which will come in handy, but if you have some custom rules in Infopath form, then you'll only be able to replace it with third party apps like Nintex Forms (try the new responsive designer, its amazing) or another less expensive solution would be Infowise Forms. Thanks

@SaurabhDhall WorkMap is another option you might want to consider. Not as deep as PowerApps, but lighter and friendlier.
