Have you considered concrete paint. We inherited a windowed-screened in porch with tile. It always looked dirty— tiresome to maintain.
We have a painted concrete floor in our basement laundry room it has held up great the last 6 years and we have a dog, he eats there.
You could also consider staining the porch, it will hold up better than paint.

Hello,
look for used or spare tiles on eBay etc.
You could paint it to look like tile or a rug on the floor.
Linoleum comes in tons of different looks these days and has really upgraded from the past. You can get in tile or in sheets that you glue down.
You could stain a design on it like brick or stone.
You could just put carpet over it ,or a floating wood floor use a water proof board .
Before you put anything down over the cement does it sweat at all?

Porch Refresh- Acid Stained Concrete
Most inexpensive way would be to paint it with a floor and porch paint or a concrete paint. You can stencil a pattern if you choose like everyone suggests.
Hi! Keep in mind some tiles are slippery. If the concrete is in good condition, you might consider paint that is made for a concrete porch. Some are textured so the painted surface won't get slippery when wet. Good luck!
You can use Concrete stain to spruce up your porch. Easier than stenciling or tiling.
If your cement floor is nice and flat and no significant cracks, tile is quite easy
