I'm not familiar with Behr's coating line up and don't have time to look it up but generally epoxy's use a catalyst to make them dry. Porch and Deck enamel is pretty much like most paints. Tradional P&D enamel is oil base although you can get it in latex also. Epoxy has the hardest finish, then oil base with latex having the softer finish of the 3 types of paint.
The biggest reason concrete coatings fail is improper [or lack of] prep and/or moisture migrating thru the slab. The slab needs to be clean and dry! If the concrete is extra slick you need to acid etch it first.
