Concrete overlay can de-laminate after a few years and needs to be removed and replaced at a very high cost. Probably not installed correctly if it happens in less then 5 years, but it will happen to all of them after 10 to 15 years. Also needs sealing every couple years.
Painting/staining seems to be the longer lasting lower maintenance option. Still needs resealing every couple years.
Probably the safest and better solution is to stain it with a concrete colored or off white stain and then seal. Do this every 10 years and it looks good and is low maintenance. Stain available at Sherwin Williams and can be done yourself.
