I've had mixed success in the past when I used it (about 5 years ago). It seemed to work well on some things like worms and leafhoppers but had almost no effect on spider mites and leaf miners, better success with biological predator controls on those. It didn't seem to hurt plants, however I do wonder if growing neema trees around beds might have an effect. Haven't tried that.

Seems like neem oil is being touted as a vegetable pest cure all. Does
anyone know whether this is true and whether is it used with any
success in organic agriculture?
