Both the HP Envy 4520 and the Canon PIXMA MG3620 are very reasonable all-in-one printers with great features but there are a couple of key points you probably want to be aware of before making your decision.
Firstly the setup process of both printers are very easy but the HP software comes with many tools you will not need and it shows pop-ups about the printer usage very frequently which is annoying, so it is best to uninstall unnecessary software after setting up the drivers.
The scanner function on both printers are sufficient as a document scanner, but not sufficient for a photo archive since both devices have a scan resolution of 1200 DPI.
The Tri-color ink cartridge of HP is more expensive than the Canon cartridge so this can be a deciding factor.
