Is Keespark Project a good Jira alternative?

Yes. Every tenant can mix Project with any other Keespark module — lead management, deals, quotations, invoicing, accounts, HR and payroll, inventory, purchase, support and more — with one login and one database. That is why we say Business Means Keespark.
