Script Preparation code:

var products = {
                product1 : {Category: 'category1', Brand: 'brand1'},
                product2 : {Category: 'category1', Brand: 'brand2'},
                product3 : {Category: 'category2', Brand: 'brand3'},
                product4 : {Category: 'category2', Brand: 'brand3'}
         }
for(var i=5; i<900; i++) {
    (i%2==0) ? products['product'+i] = {Category: 'category'+(i-1), Brand: 'brand'+(i-1)} : 
                            products['product'+i] = {Category: 'category'+i, Brand: 'brand'+i};
}
var uniqueCategoriesPresentAcrossProducts = new Set();
var level = 'Category';
var count = 0;

Tests:

lodash countBy
_.countBy(products, level); Object.keys(products).length
vanilla js foreach Iter using set
Object.keys(products).forEach(product => uniqueCategoriesPresentAcrossProducts.add(products[product][level]) );
