Pneumatic systems are inherently more dangerous than hydraulic systems at the same pressures. Most states have laws governing the construction of compressed air systems for just this reason. The ASME Code section 8 specifies rules for construction of air tanks (unfired pressure vessels).
There are less regulations on constructing hydraulic systems.
An overpressure on an air tank could result in the explosive destruction of the tank, whereas a cracked hydraulic tank would result in just a leak.

How does a pneumatic differ from hydraulic system?
Transmission fluid is performed by the hydraulic system. Pneumatic power transmission system is done by the gas.

Do pneumatic have less power then hydraulic?
Yes. Though the response time of a pneumatic system is better as compared to hydraulic, power output is higher in latter.
