JIRA is not a PPM tool, rather it is a work management tool. Having said that, a backlog can be as simple as a wall with a bunch of sticky notes - this can be simulated online using a tool such as Miro or Mural or even in an Excel spreadsheet.
If you need more functionality, then tools such as Trello or JIRA would be needed.

Product backlog is a kind of requirements register, though it normally lacks key features like traceability, track record and change control. There are many tools supporting requirements management, some of them industry specific (like DOORS for automotive). Saving Changes...
There are plenty of free-to-use solutions available online, Trello and ZenHub being just two. If none of them are an option then use a wiki page or a spreadsheet. Saving Changes...
If you want a more sophisticated tool, you can try
"MonitoreoTeletrabajo"
This newfangled project monitoring solution combines agile with global indicators. Every team member can be included in a Trello dashboard (In which the Backlog structure is already determined), and he can update the state of his respective tasks. Then, the information is translated into a global indicators panel, that can be shared with management supervisors. The cost of this tool is as low as $3 per dashboard.

What do you mean with PPM tool? Project Management tool? If this is the definition then you have to go to the definition of Project Management. If you agree with PMI´s definition then you can use the tool that best fit for your current defined project management process. That´s the key. The important thing is you think in architectural mode where you have a pyramid: the basement is the approach, over that the process model, over that the process life cycle, over that the method and over that the tool. You can mix all of these stuff in the way that best fits for your current situation. Saving Changes...

Thanks everyone for your feedback, you have confirmed that really it doesn't matter which tool you use, just get it documented :) I will probably use Sharepoint for ease of integration down the road. Saving Changes...
