Since I use Moodle for my courses, I use the Moodle Questionnaire
module (a third-party module available from the main Moodle site) for
anything in-house. If I want it to be generally available, I use
phpESP, which is the software the module is based on. It's free as in
both beer and speech, fairly easy to install and configure and has a
simple graphic interface for survey creators. It's also pretty good at
processing results - you can do item analysis, for example, though
there are no advanced statistic involved.

Of course all of this implies that you have access to a server which
provides you with PHP and MySQL.
