The Addicks went behind to a Ross Stewart header after the break but were able to rescue a point thanks to a Sonny Carey goal.
After 90 minutes with the score still level, 10 minutes of added time were played and Saints really pushed Charlton, but Jones' backline stood firm and were able to leave the south coast with a point.
"Southampton are a really good side at the level," Jones said after the game. "And after what they did to us at home when we were too open and gave up too many clear-cut chances, we knew we couldn't do that - and we didn't.
"I thought we were really good defensively, very disciplined but we could have had a little bit more quality in transition and built a little bit more.
"Every time we did build, or every time we secured the first or second pass, we actually got in, so I would have liked this to have been a little bit more. But on the scale of stuff, it's a good point."
Charlton are next in action when they play Championship strugglers West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday.
