            NETMANAGE, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
                          AND STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM


CUPERTINO, CALIF., OCTOBER 27, 1998 - NetManage, Inc. (Nasdaq: NETM), a
worldwide leader in complete PC Connectivity solutions, today announced its
results for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 1998. The
results reflect the acquisition of FTP Software, Inc. and one month's
operational activity of the combined organization. Net revenues for the third
quarter of 1998 were $17.1 million, compared to net revenues of $13.6 million
for the same period in 1997, an increase of 26%. The net loss for the third
quarter of 1998 was $7.0 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to a net loss of
$26.9 million, or $0.62 per share, for the same period in 1997. The loss from
operations excluding $7.0 million of 1998 restructuring charges was $1.7 million
and $6.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
respectively. The loss from operations for the same periods in 1997 excluding
the write-off of in-process R&D and the restructuring charge was $7.3 million
and $17.2 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997,
respectively.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, net revenues were $48.9
million, compared to net revenues of $42.6 million for the same period in 1997.
The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $9.2 million, or
$0.19 per share, compared to a net loss of $34.2 million, or $0.79 per share,
for the same period in 1997.

         "The acquisition of FTP Software was completed on August 27, 1998 and
the integration of the organization into NetManage is proceeding as anticipated.
The combined strengths of NetManage and FTP Software create an organization with
expertise in traditional connectivity and web-to-host access as well as
centrally managed network administration and server-based connectivity
solutions. We believe the acquisition of FTP positions us ahead of the market as
it moves toward server-based and web information access solutions. In addition,
the combination has resulted in an even stronger balance sheet for the combined
Company, with $131.2 million in cash and investments," stated Zvi Alon,
president and CEO of NetManage. Other significant accomplishments in the quarter
include the release of Chameleon UNIX(R)Link v8.0 and Chameleon HostLink(TM)
v8.0, the recently announced agreement with Dell Computer Corporation to
factory-install OnNet(R) Host Suite on

                                    - more -

Dell PowerEdge(R) servers equipped with Microsoft Windows NT Server, Terminal
Server Edition (NTS/TSE) and the recently announced licensing of SupportNow(TM)
by DPI Services. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. As a result, the Company recorded $27.8 million of
goodwill to be amortized over the next seven years.

         NetManage also announced today that it has been authorized by its Board
of Directors to institute a stock repurchase program whereby up to 4 million
shares of its Common Stock may be repurchased in the open market from time to
time. "Our Board of Directors felt that an investment in our own stock would be
beneficial to the Company and its stockholders," Alon noted. "The Company
intends to use the reacquired shares for general uses as well as reissuance in
employee stock option programs."

This press release contains, in addition to historical information,
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including
statements regarding improvement in the Company's competitive position, the
Company's entry into the market for real-time customer support over the
Internet, and the progress and benefits of the Company's execution on its
business plan. The Company's actual results could differ materially from the
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. The factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include, among others, that the markets
for the Company's products, including but not limited to Chameleon UNIX Link 97,
Chameleon HostLink 97, OnNet(R) Host, OnWeb(TM) Host, InterDrive(R) and N/S
Portfolio(TM), could grow more slowly than the Company or market analysts
believe, or that the Company will not be able to take advantage of growth in the
Company's target markets. In addition, there is no assurance that the Company's
products for real-time customer support over the Internet will continue to
receive customer acceptance, especially in light of the early stage of
development of the markets for such Internet-based applications; that the
Company will not suffer increased competitive pressures; that corporate buying
decisions will not be influenced by the actions of the Company's competitors or
other market factors or by the Company's acquisition of FTP Software; that the
Company will be able to retain and hire sufficient qualified personnel following
the acquisition of FTP Software by NetManage and the restructuring of the
companies' operations effected in connection with the integration of the
companies; that Company will be able to realize on new business opportunities
that may exist as a result of the acquisition of FTP Software; or that the
Company will continue to progress in the execution of its business plan.
Additional information on these and other risk factors that could affect the
Company's financial results is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K, Forms 10-Q, Forms 8-K and other documents filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
