Out of curiosity, what makes Clousflare's WAF so much better?

The ability to scan the whole of a request body rather than just the first 8kB.

CF have more options, filters, settings, realtime reports, rules and statistics..

Additionally CF ofers a good set of system managed WAF rules that you can simply active and CF will manage it for you.

With AWS you're basically on your own. More or less is a bare bones WAF tool.
