var pojo2 = {};

var map1 = new Map();
var map2 = new Map();

for (var i = 0; i < 300; i++) {
    var val1 = Math.round(Math.random() * 10);
    var val2 = Math.round(Math.random() * 10);

    map1.set(`${i}`, val1);

    pojo2[`${i}`] = val2;

Tests:

POJO - for...in
var diff = []; for (var key in pojo1) { if (pojo1.hasOwnProperty(key)) { if (pojo1[key] !== pojo2[key]) { diff.push(key); } } }
POJO - for...of Object.entries
var diff = []; for (var [key, val] of Object.entries(pojo1)) { if (val !== pojo2[key]) { diff.push(key); } }
POJO - reduce Object.entries
var diff = Object.entries(pojo1).reduce((acc, [key, val]) => { if (val !== pojo2[key]) { acc.push(key); } return acc; }, []);
Map - forEach
var diff = []; map1.forEach((val, key) => { if (val !== map2.get(key)) { diff.push(key); } });
Map - for...of entries
var diff = []; for (var [key, val] of map1.entries()) { if (val !== map2.get(key)) { diff.push(key); } }
