Dunno about that brand, but I put the rustoleum version down in my garage ~10yrs ago and the basement ~3yrs ago.

The garage I did the color coat and then topped it with the clearcoat+traction grit. It wore very well, it's only just now starting to chip off a bit in areas that I'd expect (right along the expansion seam of the concrete). The clearcoat does yellow in direct sunlight though so the 3/4" of the slab on the outside of the garage door looks odd. I'd have stopped the clearcoat at the door if I had known.

In the basement I just did color+chips. The chips flaked off for about a year, which was annoying but didn't really affect the finish. Even so, I'd still do the clearcoat again given the choice (I was worried about slipperiness but eh, fuck it.)

Both of the finishes do the job they needed to do exceptionally well. I can hose down the garage floor and wipe up oil spills with a paper towel. The basement is where the catbox is and if they occasionally miss the box, same story.

9/10 would recommend.

Check contractors forums. I found many useful things on them consumers never know, like that "premium" elastomeric chain store roof coating is a sponge and a water trap. (Too bad I'd applied some to my shipping container, but it came off.)

Contractors know all so pick their brains.

Epoxy floors are rad (moreso in high glass white).

Like with most finishes, surface prep is key. You'll want to rent a floor grinder and/or acid etch (muriatic acid) the floor prior to application.

The coatings also come in solid and partial mixes depending on the desired thickness and hardness.
